Sometimes you know a crime has been committed but can’t prove who did it. Hardball only works when there are teeth to the hardball threat.
If someone broke into your house and stole all your stuff but left no evidence behind, you’d know a crime was committed but no charges could be filed.
If a dead body turns up with no teeth or fingerprints and is burned beyond visible recognition, it would be known a murder was committed but not able to charge someone unless a witness saw the dump.
Extreme examples, yeah. But still true.
