Because our laws are so broad, most people in the US commit multiple felonies each year. That is not an exaggeration. That being the case, prosecutorial discretion - the exclusive right of the prosecutor to decide whether or not a given prosecution serves the public interest - is incredibly important. The elected District Attorney in this and any other jurisdiction where prosecutorial discretion is not being properly exercised needs to be removed from office, and any abusive deputy district attorneys must be fired. This is the only way to ensure some semblance of reason and sanity in our "justice" system, since removing the laws that make everyone into felons simply will not occur.
