Why would a prosecutor withdraw from a case?

Q: Why would a prosecutor withdraw from a case?

Being told prosecutor has withdrawn from the case because defendant is being too un-reasonable. That no deal could be made so he is withdrawing and so did the judge. Tell me wouldn’t the prosecutor just take the stance, well if we can’t come to a deal, Trial it will be, let the chips fall. So can anyone give me some idea’s please. Thanks for your time in this matter I really do appreciate it.

A: Chances are that the prosecutor has some conflict or schedule hiccup. I really doubt that the judge would allow an attorney to withdraw because of an unreasonable defendant. If you have an attorney, have your counsel ask the judge for the reason why the prosecutor has been changed.

I do agree with you that a prosecutor would probably take the stance of: if we can’t arrive at a deal then we will try the case. Find out more details as I suspect that there is more going on here. I would suspect it is a scheduling conflict with the prosecutor’s office.

I would recommend having experienced counsel on your side to better fight your charges. Your freedom is too important.
