But they don't have an unlimited budget. There are a certain number of prosecutors working for the county and they all have a certain number of hours in the work week. There is a limit to what they can do. They will not bring a case to trial if they don't feel they have a good chance of conviction. And they will offer pleas deals to reduce their workload. They're not going to waste time on a marginal case.
