The District Attorney has to file for re-election at some point, and if he lets a millionaire athlete off for slaughtering this women and her dog, he's not going to get a lot of votes out of that. I see him pushing it to make an example and then he can say he's tough on crime.
That can also easily be turned around him by groups. A young African American man with no prior record with a chance for generational wealth who's character has been endorsed by his teammates even after the accident makes an extremely poor decision. He accidentally takes a woman's life. The DA then tries to ruin that young African American man's life and take away his chance for generational wealth and treating him like he's on his third strike.
The DA also likely got a wake up call as to how things are going to go when he requested a $1 mil bond and the judge came back with $150k.
