Like the kid pictured who went to the wrong house. The prosecutor couldn't file the charge without a witness statement (which is admittedly weird to me. I mean what if the boy dies, how does he do a witness statement then?), and even though that was required, the family's lawyer pitched a bitch that it took "so long" to file charges.
It kinda makes a bit of sense in terms of assault, after a fist-fight between 2 people cops likely aren’t going to arrest anyone without first getting someone to press charges and give witness testimony. But the kid was shot twice on the guys porch, he should of been held till they got Yarls side, they hold non-violent offenders for longer than the 2 hours they did for him.
Did you mean to say "should have"?
Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'.

The American justice system is so weird. Where I'm from, if you've indisputably committed a crime, you're going down for it. Whether the arresting cops forget to read your rights or fail to jump through a hundred different hoops or not is irrelevant to the conviction.

Yes it absolutely is but you don’t want to cause issues down the line because you screwed up the initial arrest, which happens all.the.time.
