I want them to bring cases they think they can and should win. Am sure neither of us thinks a prosecutor should bring a case just because she can win it.
I keep saying that you are setting up a straw man by talking about a case that is 100% likely to lose, but you must like that straw man an awful lot, because you just keep setting it up again. Go nuts with your "will lose" point, but at this point you are either trolling or being willfully obtuse with it.

I do not want them to bring charges for the purpose of deterring crime, or to encourage victims to come forward, ever.

Surely not for the sole purpose of such things, but where a prosecutor thinks that she has some chance of winning, shouldn't those effects be relevant? Or are you simply not going to address a situation where a prosecutor sees an uphill case instead of a dead-bang, 100% loser?
