    I guess the DA can decide to do so. If so inclined.

    sure they can. The prosecutor can drop the charges at any time before a verdict is returned. They can drop charges after the whole trial is over and the jury is deliberating. The real question is "WHY would he/she drop charges?" If the state has a case, it is the prosecutor's job to prosecute.
