The rushed murder charges were obviously pandering to the mob to quell the rioting. But even this inexperienced prosecutor should know you can’t make the charges stick if the evidence isn’t there.
By her pandering, she made things much, much worse.
On the contrary, the move was to INCREASE the unrest. I'm betting the prosecutor/prostitutor knew good and well that the charges wouldn't hold up, thereby fanning the flames of "victimhood."
