5 Va. J. Crim. L. 38 (2017)
Images and Allusions in Prosecutors' Morality Tales

handle is hein.journals/virjcr5 and id is 42 raw text is: Virginia Journal of Criminal Law IMAGES AND ALLUSIONS IN PROSECUTORS' MORALITY TALES Kay L. Levine & Ronald F. Wright ABSTRACT In this essay, we catalog and explain four stock images that prosecutors use most often when they describe their own duties and those of their counterparts across the aisle. Prosecutors speak frequently about wearing the white hat, going over to the dark side, being a true believer, and drinking the Kool-Aid. These images- and the narratives in which they are embedded reveal important aspects of the prosecutors' professional self- image and their relationships with defense attorneys. In so doing, they inspire new ways of thinking about how to engage prosecutors in efforts to reform criminal justice. Professor of Law, Emory University; Needham Y. Gulley Professor of Criminal Law, Wake Forest University. Many thanks to our early readers, including Martha Grace Duncan, Matthew Clair, Alix Winter, Usha Rodriguez, and participants in the Emory- UGA 2016 summer symposium. 3 8 [ Vol . 5: 1
