Is there a defense of absolute prosecutorial immunity?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Lawson v. Abrams, 863 F.2d 260 (2nd Cir. 1988):
The availability of a defense of absolute prosecutorial immunity depends on the nature of the acts allegedly performed rather than on the office itself, for, as the district court observed, it is established that prosecutors have absolute immunity for some of their acts but only qualified immunity for others. See, e.g., Robison v. Via, 821 F.2d
