My question.

Why did the prosecutor go for a plea deal not a trial?

Could the evidence be so bad or lacking there is not enough to have a trial?

Are they incompetent?

Are they lazy?

These are the things i want to know.

Maybe it's lazy AND incompetent...

"Are they incompetent?"

"Are they lazy?"

Yes. And there's no money in it. They like the nice and easy, businesss as usual, approach. I can't speak for other places, but the buffoons who are in charge here probably wouldn't have the first clue how to even conduct a trial.
