To put leilanidude's excellent point another way, paying back the charges (after over 800 days in one case) seems to have been a "get out of jail free" card. Does restitution before trial make it OK? Not in my world. To answer kalakoa's question, apparently the answer is "yes," at least from the perspective of the officials offered immunity. For immunity to be offered, there had to be some presumption of wrongdoing on the part of the prosecutors.
Once again, from my coldly cynical point of view, the purpose of the prosecution of Kenoi was not justice, but to torpedo an up and coming folksy political threat to the current controlling faction of the Democratic party. Google "Byzantine" as an adjective, and you will see what I mean.
