520 Since 1980, prosecutors and defense attorneys handling
federal terrorism trials have developed politicized
strategies and counter strategies unique to terrorism
trials, and those strategies have had a significant impact
on case outcomes. Moreover, case outcomes were positively
impacted by proactive policy changes implemented in the
wake of 9/11. Building on structural contextual theory and
the hydraulic effect, Shields finds that when prosecutors
rely less heavily on highly politicized prosecution
strategies, conviction rates increased. In fact, his
findings indicate that the more prosecutors politicize a
case, the more likely the case goes to trial, increasing
the odds of acquittal
