I do not understand this, how does a court of law argue to keep a criminal case going when the prosecution and the defense both agree it should be dismissed? It makes no sense to me, the whole point of a criminal trial is to examine the facts before the court and determine guilt. The defendant is fully entitled to due process which the prosecution (DOJ) has declared did not happen in this case. So where's the argument? If the prosecution determines that the case was improperly handled to the point where the defendant's rights were denied, then any admission of guilt is tainted and the case should be dismissed. So, WTF is going on? It isn't the judge's call, it's on the prosecution to decide when to bring charges and when to drop them.
