In a law review article, "The Prosecutor's Duty of Silence" [79 Albany Law Review 1183 (2016)], I argued that prosecutors have an ethical duty to remain silent and not make public comments about specific cases or individuals currently under investigation or being litigated. As I wrote, "a prosecutor's public statements can destroy a person's reputation, prejudice his right to a fair trial, and undermine the public's respect for the way the criminal law is administered."
