‘The legal experts I consulted said that good prosecutors have an ethical obligation not to bring cases when they don’t think they have a good chance of winning. “At the end of the day, I have to clear ‘reasonable doubt,’” Bowman says.’

How about ethical obligation not to prosecute the innocent???

It isn’t ultimately about if you can win or lose, it’s about truth and justice.

This is why I hate most lawyers...

Similarly, my eyes were opened to the criminal justice system when an assistant DA explained to me that ‘it’s not a court of justice, it’s a court of law’.
