That you committed the offense with which you were charged.

This is dependent upon what you mean by criminal court. If you mean adult court then you're talking about having a juvenile case transferred to adult court. Fr a prosecutor to do this he has to petition to the juvenile judge that this case should be transferred to adult court, either because of the severity of the charges or because of the frequency at which the juvenile continues to commit delinquent acts. For a prosecutor to prosecute the case into juvenile court there must be enough evidence to show probable cause that the juvenile committed a delinquent act (delinquent acts range from crimes - misdemeanors or felonies - to acts that can only be committed by juveniles, such as truancy and runaway behavior.

Why can't prosecutors make principled decisions without being influenced by exchange relations and organizational factors?

A prosecutor cannot make principled decisions without being influenced by exchange relations or organizational factors because the prosecutor's position is an elected position. They also do not want to take a criminal to court unless they can prove that the person is the one guilty of a crime. If they go too early, the case could be lost.


How do courts make a decision?

Say a criminal is accused. The criminal will have a defense attorney. In court, the defense attorney argues with the prosecutor. In his cross-examination with the witness, he tries to find a contradiction, to show the defendant is NOT GUILTY. In the end, the Jury declares if the accused is GUILTY or NOT GUILTY. It really depends on what happened during the trial.
