Kim Foxx made the decision. She has the right to do so, as the elected official with purview. She may have taken a number of factors into account, such as the public nature of the matter, the disproportionate number of felonies charged, or the fact that rapists routinely get off with 2-3 year sentences while the crime of filing a false report is technically non-violent. She also may have considered that her constituency would want her to prioritize other prosecutions. Regardless, what is done is done.
