the evidence may be there , BUT ....

“The declaration may be made because the charges cannot be proved, the evidence has demonstrated either innocence or a fatal flaw in the prosecution’s claim, or the prosecutor no longer thinks the accused is guilty, and/or the accused has died. It is generally made after indictment, but is not a guarantee that the person will not be reindicted “

for example, if witnesses can not be found or brought forth, the victim does not want a court hearing ...there will be no prosecution even IF the evidence is there.

Our judicial system is terrible...but it is better than any other!

Yet you have no real solutions to fix it, typical.

Good points, but consider a simple case of DUI. Sometimes a person receives a stet (and multiple ones) or dismissals, even when the evidence is there. I’ve heard of people getting 4 DUI dismissals.

I’ve encountered my own situation where justice was not served and i seem to read repeated cases of lack of prosecution and later something bad happens. Those tragedies could have been prevented if the judicial system was not so liberal in letting people off the hook. My own experience and reading other cases has left me with a bad taste of disgust.
