There are a lot of cases where the prosecutor feels that a negligent persons already has had enough punishment and doesn't persue charges.

One case off the top of my head is off of the show "the first 48"

A guy and his friend are involved in a shootout with another party and he accidentally shoots and kills his friend with an illegal weapon. The prosecutor did not press charges at all since he already had to face the guilt of killing his long time best friend. Even though the guy was involved in a shootout with people wanting to sell him illegal weapons.

that's better.
