Let us say your property (land, part-time business) was being vandalized.
Let us say the vandalizations happened when you were out of the county or out of the state. Vandals knew of your basic schedule.
Let us say the Police and Prosecutor know you had nothing to do with the vandalizations but did not care.
Let us say you were charged with the results of the vandalizations even though you were known to have not been involved and the authorities had zero intent or interest in investigating the crimes.
Let us say you cannot prove who did the vandalizations though you have a fairly good idea of who and the organization to which they belong.
Let us say your paying job requires your person to be above reproach or you lose your job. You have already been reassigned work due to this situation and have lost your chances at promotions and ability to move within the organization.
Now you are offered to sign off on two citations where you will admit you allowed your dog to get off your property and the citations are about dog bites (no, no dogs were involved in ANY of the incidents). Your legal expenses end. Business is already shuttered and lost.
Prosecution is months beyond their required timeframe to bring to trial. They claim to have been negotiating even though there has been zero contact. Prosecution has continually failed to return calls, letters, e-mails, or show at court directed meetings. Court agrees with them and extends trial period.
What do you do? Take the "bargain" and move on or spend thousands more fighting to prove your innocence and spend possibly another year without being able to get on with your life?
This has nothing to do with principles, they left the game quite some time ago or were never involved.
Prosecutor is "above reproach" per state law and cannot be touched with wrongful prosecution per state laws. Ad-litem refused to dismiss when originally brought for review and they claimed no need to go through a grand jury.
