To some extent I agree. Justice should not be a result of prosecutors pulling punches, but of a justice system that allows for a robust defence to succeed consistently over a harsh prosecution. The problem with letting prosecutors not prosecute to the full extent of the law on their own judgement allows for selective favouritism, like white college kids getting off with a warning where a black street kid gets serious time. Relying on prosecutors to be lenient or "do the right thing" places the defence in the wrong hands - a court that allows a strong defence to succeed over or moderate a prosecution should be at the heart of the justice system.
