LMAO. There have been PLENTY of cases where people have been guilty but have pleaded down their case so the DA didn't have to spend money going to trial. That's how our system works. May want to speak with your wife who's probably much smarter than you...DA’s bring forth charges in cases they believe they can win. They aren’t going to bring a case to trial with insufficient evidence/uncooperative witnesses. Read an effing text book.
