/prosecutor's / discretion to enter a nolle prosequi (crim.) Explanation: In the words of the late ProZ translator, Henry Hinds (HH) : 'context is everything'. We need to know at least whether such a *Latin American* scenario is civil, criminal - even referring to an opportunistic crime - or a court martial etc. If a criminal defens/ce team reckons the case is weak, then in Anglo-Am. ('Anglo-Saxon') Common Law, a submission of : 'no case (for the defendant) to answer' can be made on single, individual or all counts of the indictment: the old lady inadvertently took the tin or can of cat food: no case to answer, but slapped the security guard: a case to answer. Otherwise, in BrE there can an 'entry of a nolle prosequi' or, US AmE, to nolle prosequi a prosecution. Example sentence(s):
