After hearing about many people wrongfully convicted of crimes, I think some DAs are inclined to prosecute if they believe they can win the trial (rather than if they absolutely believe the person is guilty). It doesn't necessarily matter if the case is strong or weak or if there are other plausible alternative explanations for the circumstances. DAs advance their careers by winning cases and locking people up, not by arresting people and then dropping charges. The incentives can encourage DAs to prosecute an iffy case they think they can win even if they are not totally convinced that the person is guilty.
