Yes, but that is not in the DA's interest unless there was political pressure to drop the case.

What about our interest? We pay that DA's wage!

We paid, and pay, the wages of everyone involved in locking that woman up - the police, the prosecutors, the jail staff.

It shouldn't take forming a political action group to fix things like this. That DA is unfit for purpose, his interest be damned.
