This allows the prosecutor to devote more resources to serious crimes or criminals, but it also opens up the possibility of abuse; he can prosecute his political enemies, but refuse to prosecute his friends, for example.

What are the arguments in favor and against the broad discretion vested in a prosecutor?

Arguments in favor of broad prosecutorial discretion include the ability to prioritize cases based on severity, resource allocation, and the pursuit of justice tailored to individual circumstances. This discretion allows prosecutors to make decisions that can enhance public safety and ensure that limited resources are used efficiently. Conversely, arguments against such discretion highlight the potential for abuse, inconsistency in charging decisions, and the risk of discriminatory practices, which can undermine public trust in the justice system and lead to unequal treatment of defendants.
