Why would a prosecutor refuse to prosecute?
Answer Prosecutors don't usually prosecute a case unless they have enough evidence to convict the person on trial. That would probably be the only way that they wouldn't go to trial as it's very costly to the State for someone to go free when the Prosecution thought they had a good case. Two cases in such were the Micheal Jackson case and the famous Simpson case in which cases both defendants were cleared off all charges. Those two trials probably cost more money than it takes to put a rocket in space.
