I’m neither a lawyer nor a police officer. But I read this as a sign that the evidence speaks for itself.

The DA doesn’t want to get stuck with the blame for bringing a false charge.

Yes. This sounds like the way ALL grand jury matters should be handled. With FULL evidence in view ALL the time. Not merely the evidence that one side (the prosecution) wishes the jurors to see.

Common sense!

After all, the REAL job of the “people’s lawyer” is to arrive at the TRUTH, **whatever* it may be. Their job is NOT!!! to “get convictions”.

(In theory, anyway.)
