Some states do have sanctions, true, but they are seldom employed. Unbelievably, though, there are some states which actually protect prosecutors from being held accountable for their mistakes and misconduct! State bar associations can disbar such attorneys, of course, but they seldom do. Most punishments, when they are levied against prosecutors, amount to little more than "Don't do that again."
