of the offense. Like making a killing "manslaughter" instead of "murder".

You still have to appear on the ticket, and you'd have warrants issued if you fail to appear. There's still a punishment.

I don't agree with that approach, because $950 seems like it would be a lot of money to some folks and I'm not sure why prosecutors think that thieves should be able to just take it.
