(2,800 posts)After decades of only pursuing slam dunk cases they've gotten scared of uncertainty. They got lazy with so many slam dunk mandatory minimum drug cases, a few show terrorism cases with heave informant involvement and the usual low hanging fruit of Medicare and Medicaid billing fraud cases. They only wish to bring cases they feel they should win in front of a jury and try to get pleas to avoid even those going to trial.
Cases like this will have one or more R on the juries and they don't want to loose. I've heard there is a kind of incentive system to encourage them having high conviction-plea to loss ratios. If not overt financial incentives, the path to advancement does consider that kind of ratio. I read a post from the civil rights lawyer Tony Sera that if no one coperates after a raid in california the Feds will often simply give up and not prosecute.
