If a case has strong evidence and is likely to result in a conviction, no bargain. If a case is weak, and there's a lot of uncertainty about a conviction maybe a plea bargain is the best decision.
That’s the way it is now. A statement like that is designed as cover for her being able to dismiss and nol-process cases, going forward. And, with that caseload, there’s no way she’ll be able to maintain that type of tempo. Not possible. I’ve seen it, firsthand.
It’ll be a lot of ADAs reviewing a case, telling the officers to downgrade charges to misdemeanors. If it an arrest gets downgraded to a misdemeanor it is much easier for the DAs Office to kick it down to the State/Magistrate court that hears those cases and then, tosses them like trash. Seen it happen.
I’ve seen it get so bad that on police reports, there was a block where you said what happened....victim shot...victim punched in face....victim robbed at gunpoint. For a brief period, we were told not to fill in that block. What they were doing was reading our reports so they could water down what happened. So...a major ass-whooping with severe injuries would be listed as an assault. You wouldn’t know the specifics unless you read the details.
She’s basically going to recruit SJW lawyers, who think the way she does and they will become the Prosecutor, Jury and Judge. Probably not one of them living in the areas that will be the most affected by these policies.
