> The man is running for prosecutor. He boasts about successful prosecutions.

I personally have no problem with that, but he also brags about how many people he sent to prison or death row **as a judge**. That’s unseemly to me. I don’t expect neutrality from a prosecutor (or a public defender) but I expect neutrality from a judge. To be blunt, a prosecutor running up a score or “body count” is fine, but a judge doing the same is not. :smack:
