There are more people commiting crimes than people investigating crimes. The system is so log jammed that if everyone took a trial rather than a plea deal, no one would ever see a court date for years. In this condition its easy to see resources allocated to high profile cases which impoverished, uneducated teenagers are not. So a DA can believe someone is guilty, but also that there is unlikely to get enough resources to investigate and prove it. Now personally I believe the solution is to be more lax on crime, till the numbers improve but thats another topic.
