Remember, victims often have difficult or poor perspectives given the circumstances. It would be really bad to start letting victims dictate how to proceed with legal matters - even a physician. Maybe even especially.

So it's better to let the guy go free despite the victim's wishes beeeeecause....
In what way does this serve the greater good? It shows that because of his status he gets off scott free just because the DA perceives that he'll be able to pay his judgement better when a lawsuit finally goes through? That's not justice.
