You are overlooking that the police and the DA both have limited resources and must be selective with what cases they pursue. If one assistant DA can only have four misdemeanor trials a month they aren't going after cases that are 50/50. In a high population area there is enough crime for the DA to keep a 90% conviction rate by only going after the easiest cases to prove.
