I suspect that plea bargaining is at play here. This is part of the pathology of the incredibly fucked up part of criminal law, which rewards DAs and detectives to make brownie points at much too high salaries, while taking away the rule of law.

OTOH what is this guy doing picking up a youngish girl for a ride, isn't that begging for trouble?

Apparently one Robert N Tracci(R) is running against the responsible prosecutor this fall and if I can find out how I'll give him some money.
