Dismissals, dispositions, and trial delays happen for all sorts of reasons, and shouldn't necessarily be tied to the DA, the same way charging decisions are, which DA's have sole discretion over. And what do overdoses have to go with the DA? It's a medical/public health issue.
"The public interest is not served by releasing trial and prosecution decisions to the public for scrutiny." Seriously, man, ... that sounds a little more Stalin, Mao, Che and Pol Pot than Marx. Socialism, SF flava!

If at some point someone can produce thousands of pages that describe the nuances of each case that brought it to its resolution, I'm all for it. Producing aggregate numbers for dismissals, dispositions, and trials with no context helps no one.

No-ones asking for nuance -- just the stats. And how to they compare to elsewhere. What's so wrong with that?
