Where are you coming up with your fantasy that there was a rabid DA?
Oh, sorry, prosecutor (rolls eyes). From the link:
Woodys ad-hoc press conference made for good television and was widely covered in the press. Less widely disseminated was a news item that appeared in the New York Times five months later (Feb. 24, 1994), which reported that a disciplinary panel found the actions of County Prosecutor Frank Maco (the probable cause guy) were cause for grave concern and may have prejudiced the case. It winds up that Maco sent his probable cause statement to the Surrogates Court judge in Manhattan who was still deciding on Allens adoption status of Dylan and Moses, which Mia was trying to annul. The panel wrote, In most circumstances, [Macos comments] would have violated the prosecutors obligation to the accused. [His actions were] inappropriate, unsolicited, and potentially prejudicial. The article states that the agency could have voted sanctions against Maco ranging from censure to disbarment. Though the decision was quite damning, Maco got what amounted to a slap on the wrist
