Given how much of our "Justice" system relies on privately operated prisons, my suggestion for the "fourth factor" is the suspicion that somewhere, some way, some of the tax-dollars that pay for these men's prison stays ( and all of their fellow "room-mates" ) are ending up back in the AG's/governor's pockets. Or perhaps merely in their golfing buddies' pockets.
"'[A]ll will be well in the garden' so long as things work how they are supposed to work."
And things work how they are supposed to work because people, who actually make decisions, make that happen. Prosecutors who "think that their duty is to defend every judgment, no matter the justice of it" have made a conscious decision to ignore ABA Rule of Professional Conduct 3.8[1]:"A prosecutor has the responsibility of a minister of justice and not simply that of an advocate. This responsibility carries with it specific obligations to see that the defendant is accorded procedural justice, that guilt is decided upon the basis of sufficient evidence, and that special precautions are taken to prevent and to rectify the conviction of innocent persons.""The System" does not operate on autopilot.
Don't generalize. The scenery in the Ozarks is grand, we generated Mark Twain, Wm Burroughs, and a host of lesser lights that have contributed to the Union. The fact that the state is run by dim, narrow, shallow minds put in place through a machine that protects the idiocy herein has nothing to do with the residents.
what is the ABA doing to encourage compliance from these AGs?

Would you? I sure as heck wouldn't. Heck, I'd be suing now.
Am I allowed to say? "What a bunch of fuckwads?"
Missouri was not a Confederate state. They were a "border state", a slave state that did not secede from the Union.
They still suck for this, though.
I would, but I'm foreign, so I'd bet they'd be even less willing to hear from me. :)
Missouri split early in the war, the pro-Confederate state government holding little of its territory.
My favorite ones are the three witches, myself. But obviously there's no wrong answer!
In other words America, Made Great!(Yes, snark. I would hope such a declaration wasn't necessary here, but just in case. . . .)
That's a very long argument.

When that cover came out, Trent Reznor remarked that the song was no longer his.
That sounds like Cape Girardeau
The southern part of the state was a checkerboard as slavery was decided by county.
Thank you. We were a confused state, and some things never change.
