The decision as to when to bring charges for a criminal offense is the prerogative...

The decision as to when to bring charges for a criminal offense is the prerogative of the prosecutor, not the prospective defendant. This prerogative should not be put to unfair advantage. Sometimes decades elapse before charges are brought. Though this may be appropriate when striking new evidence implicates someone, bringing charges after many years simply because evidence favoring the prospective defendant has become inaccessible would be grossly unjust.

Which of the following most accurately states the passage's main point?

A.

There should be safeguards to prevent criminal prosecutors from taking unfair advantage of the prerogative to decide when charges will be brought against a prospective defendant.

B.

Criminal prosecutors have an advantage over prospective defendants in that prosecutors get to decide when, if at all, charges will be brought.

C.

Criminal prosecutors should not take unfair advantage of their prerogative to decide when criminal charges will be brought against a prospective defendant.

D.

In some cases, it is unfair for a prosecutor, many years after an alleged offense has occurred, to bring charges against a prospective defendant for committing that offense.

E.

To bring charges against a prospective defendant after a delay of many years would be unjust.
