Most prosecutor's offices have policies regarding what an assistant prosecutor can or cannot do without clearing from higher ups. My guess is this ADA broke the department rules by entering into this type of plea arrangement and then hid it from the boss.

I understand that.

So then the question becomes, if this was the policy, just what was "in it for her" that she risked her job?

From another thread:"Both reports say that Ritter later struck a deal with Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Preiser that allowed the case to be dismissed and the records sealed."

My comment was; "Maybe a deal she couldn't refuse." ;-)
Some women are so gullible.
