I don't see too many judges being concerned over prosecutors' intent to have a conviction rate of 100% concerning American citizens. My home county DA's office has a "conviction" rate of 99% and they file on every police report which lands in their "in basket".
It's money to fund departmental empires. It's like piece work - the DA's office is funded ever more by every conviction regardless of how contrived it is arrived at. There is no money in dismissing meritless cases. $13K IN DETENTION COSTS? Meaningless to a prosecutor - he got his piece of the action.
