Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
If the police clearly seem to think the evidence shows a valid molestation case involving 5 & 7 year old little girls and their father, but the DA decides not to press criminal charges because the girls are so young that (s)he feels that they would not "win" the case, what recourse can be taken to get the case re-evaluated?

None, other than try to see a DA supervisor. Not likely to succeed, since the DA's internal office review process already looked at the case and made that decision. The courtroom deputy doesn't make those decisions alone.
