the courts will waste a hundred thousand dollars bring this girl to trial.....why not just sit her down, offer some misdemenor plea, community service, etc. and go after the rapist and murderers... 

I doubt there is much crime in Boulder. Maybe they want to prosecute to keep the system churning and providing employment for prosecutors, defense lawyers, guards, clerks etc. Lots of people livelihood is dependant on crime
