That’s not “the prosecutor’s job”. One of the prosecutor’s duties is determining when the police fuck up and arrest someone who has not broken the law; at that point, the prosecutor should drop the case.
That’s not how it works in many places, and even here in the US. You absolutely can be detained and charged yet later exonerated. Some places when you kill someone you are by default charged with murder because you killed someone, your personal feelings don’t determine the laws elsewhere. The public doesn’t determine whether or not someone gets arrested, and yeah, if someone gets killed I expect the cops to hold the killer for a while to figure out what happened.
Or pursue it to make it clearly defined. That’s how the law works, we quite literally have precedent because a prosecutor or defense attorney wouldn’t let the shit go.
