You hear about 'prosecutorial discretion' . It means that Bragg can make decisions about which cases he can make and which to ignore.
He announced when he became DA that he would be “make incarceration a matter of last resort,” with a strong presumption against jail or prison for offenses other than murder, armed violent felonies that cause serious injury, domestic violence, sex crimes, public corruption, racketeering and white-collar crimes. For anything else, most arrestees will likely be released, many on their own recognizance.

I guess choosing the wrong ledger entry from a drop down menu is as serious as murder .
