In this video, the former D.A. explains that the legal definition of prosecutorial misconduct is when the prosecutor behaves improperly, to the detriment of the defendant. This can happen before, during or after jury trial. If it happens at trial and taints the jury, the judge will often remedy the situation by declaring a mistrial and starting the trial over again. When prosecutorial misconduct happens, it is a strategic call by the defense lawyer whether or not to seek a mistrial.
