What did he say that you thought was incorrect?

The prosecutor is an advocate for his client. What you fullblownretardingly posted as being legally meaningful carries no more legal significance than the quote from Johnson's lawyer from an article that I'm sure is coming soon
While not conclusive by any means, the prosecutors decision not to charge is more legally significant by a long shot than an attorney advocating in the press for his client.

He was not referring to the choice to charge or not. He was speaking in terms of how the prosecutor acts after charges have been filed.

Well it's certainly more legally significant in the sense of it dictates whether a case becomes a case.

But it's not in the sense that (a) bogus charges are brought against people in every court in the country most days of he week, (b) once those charges are brought the prosecutor si going to say they are totally legit just like (c) the attorney for a dude who is guilty as sin will say the guy is innocent or maintains his innocence or is a victim of cirucmstances, blah blah.

Point is, when a guy is advocating on behalf of a client he's not weighing scales; he's tugging like a madman on one side.
