You can't write this stuff

An actual coming § 1983 action.

But now let's try to fit it back into today's conversation. Imagine Ms. Gassman (Sydney, did someone change their name???) works for the DA. 

So two possibilities arising from the particular line defendant and her relationship with the DA. When does immunity attach?

    1) Ms. Gassman brings this same suit against this DA.

    2) The DA assigns Ms. Gassman to prosecute and obtain a conviction against a Palestinian defendant. The defendant learns of the photo in her office and sues the DA for damages for discrimination in appointing Ms. Gassman to prosecute, believing the choice motivated by discrimination.
