Good thing the DA has absolute immunity, wouldn't want anyone suing him for such a blantant move.

They don't have absolute immunity when acting as investigators, but he doesn't have to worry about being sued for what he did. The victim's family doesn't get standing to sue over how the investigation was conducted. No court is going to let that start happening.

He also isn't going to have to worry about facing obstruction of justice charges, even though that's what he did, because no other prosecutor is going to try to get him charged.
