What makes Joe Blo immune from "prosecution"?
What if Joe's family thinks he was wrongly prosecuted? They find a way to retaliate.

While this routinely happens under a monopolized legal system, if Joe were to be wrongly tried and convicted, the free market has a better chance of exposing this, and there would certainly be appeals courts in Rothbard land.
I would imagine competing legal firms would savor the possibility of exposing faulty judgements and gaining market share, much like Miller Lite exposes how Bud Light has less taste. Firms that make faulty judgements would not be sought in legal disputes, and so they would go out of business.
