Plot hole: It doesn't make sense for the prosecuting attorney to agree to accept a guilty plea from Danny for assaulting an officer, possession with intent to distribute, and resisting arrest with no accompanying guilty plea for at least a lesser-included offense of murder (such as voluntary manslaughter). A violent gang member committing an initiation murder while out on parole would be dealt with much more harshly, especially when the murder victim was a high-school-aged teenager and random victim.

Character mistake: The prosecuting attorney told William, "In the interests of getting this thug [Danny] off the streets as soon as possible, his attorney has agreed to plead guilty to assaulting an officer, possession with the intent to distribute, and resisting arrest, and that's all in addition to his parole violations. We're looking at five to seven [years in prison]." The parole violations alone are sufficient to get Danny off the streets immediately. (00:09:34)
Plot hole: The prosecuting attorney told William "this case [murder of Kat] is so paper thin the judge's probably gonna throw it out" but William could try to convince the D.A. to take it to trial. In addition to circumstantial evidence against Danny and his pending charges (resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, possession with intent to deliver, and parole violations), the random, unprovoked, senseless murder of a teenaged girl would be high profile - such cases are most likely to be prosecuted.
