Is use of Yablonski's name by Ramos in a political flyer an ethical violation??

A District Attorney's job (according to the U.S. Supreme Court in Berger v. United States)“is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done . . . .” 295 U.S. 78, 88 (1935). In addition to the ordinary codes of conduct governing lawyers in their jurisdictions, prosecutors operate under internal policies and ABA Standards for the Administration of Criminal Justice (1999). In particular, prosecutors are governed by the internal policies of their prosecutorial agency and they are guided by prosecution standards of ethics set out in STANDARDS RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, PROSECUTION FUNCTION (1993), the NATIONAL PROSECUTION STANDARDS (Nat’l District Atty’s Ass’n 2d ed. 1991) and the STANDARDS RELATING TO THE ADMIN. OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, PROSECUTORS AND CONFLICTS. Prosecutors, even more than other lawyers, must retain the role of advocate without becoming personally invested in a case. Prosecutors are not allowed to permit their professional judgment “to be affected by his or her own political.... or personal interests.”See STANDARDS RELATING TO THE ADMIN. OF JUSTICE, PROSECUTION FUNCTION Standard 3-1.3(f) (1993). So ask yourself, is exploiting the name and likeness of a charged private citizen BEFORE his case goes to trial in a political flyer (bragging about a "Cold Case" Unit) a breach of Ramo's ethical duties??

Ramos in a political flyer (for political gain?) exploits a man the system presumes innocent!!

Today, most of San Bernardino County voters received a color flyer with John Yablonsky's name on it with the words "IT'S NEVER A COLD CASE" and on the other side "GANGBUSTER". Ramos slides to new lows by not only bragging about a conviction rate of roughly 60% (when most major counties have an 85-90% conviction rate) and bragging about his having waited almost his entire term before filing for a getting an anti-gang injunction (curiously timed to just before the election), but he now taints the jury pool (voters are typically amongst the people that serve on juries) by putting the name and face of an accused (not yet convicted) alleged killer on one of his political fliers. I hope that Yablonsky, if he guilty, does not get off due to the advertising stunt of a desperate Mike Ramos anxious to find any reason to tell voters to vote for him. Why, I ask you, if his department has sent "over 3,000 gangbangers" to prison (which is barely over 60% of the people he charged--which means rough 2,000 gangbangers who committed crimes are back on the street doing their thing) did Ramos not use the names of people he succeeded in putting away as evidence of his success? Why pick a man that has the presumption of innocence, especially where the result might be to taint the jury pool. How far does Ramos go to win? Oh yeah, I forgot, Ramos is not bothered by the law.
