At this point, none of us know all the facts and probably never will.

However, it is extremely usual for someone charged with felonies with possible jail time of over 20 years to be allowed to cop a plea to some minor misdemeanors and walk away after paying a nominal fine. The prosecutors ought to be embarrassed by the whole thing. It does make you wonder what happened.
