Are you really that out of touch? That is PRECISELY the system that we have - a little less hyperventilated, but yeah. How did you THINK it worked?

Nobody has to be called to jury duty. Eliminate a lot of money paying those over-priced prosecutors and defense lawyers. Just let the cops call it.

No. You were wrong about that.
What happens is, the prosecutor - SOMETHIMES in concert with the lead detective - makes a decision about whether the case should go to trial. In THIS case, the media decided to docket the case. The prosecutor - the actual professional - turned out to be right. Yep.
Google it. You'll see that I'm right. The media doesn't always decide what cases go to trial. In fact, only rarely - only to appease the race baiters.
