Of course they matter. They're reflections of the entire system they existed in. There are a lot of Detective Conleys out there, and Detective Conley probably mentored at least a few of them. The same goes for the prosecutor.

The question isn't how do we deal with them, the question is how we change the system to stop manufacturing people like them and then giving them the power to do these things.
