I’ve heard people say that lawyers only choose to prosecute cases that they know they might win, but isn’t that true for lawyers in basically any country, anywhere?
EDIT: I meant conviction rate in the title.

Because they will never prosecute anyone they don’t think they will absolutely be able to convict. If they fail to convict, it would ruin their stats, so they only do it when they’re 100% sure. Unfortunately, that means if they’re not 100% sure they are able to convict, they won’t prosecute even if it’s 100% certain you’re guilty.
There’s also the “small” problem of courts there being very biased towards defendants. I mean, if you’re there, you must have done SOMETHING, right? Sadly, they have a mentality of “If something bad happened to you, you must have deserved it”. Sucks.
