Understood. However, that was not what I meant. What I was thinking was in terms of the culture and how decisions like this might look to peers, supervisors, etc. I might guess that going easy on people might be looked down upon, and that the usual fear is being blamed for the person that could have been prosecuted, but wasn't, and then did something bad. "lenient prosecutors" vs "tough prosecutors"
