Actually it's the opposite of what your saying. If the prosecutor had good evidence on DeLay they wouldn't be offering a plea bargain. Plea bargains are offered when evidence is slim and the outcome of a trial could go either way. An exception to this would be because the courts are very busy and they just want to clear up the case load. It would be highly doubtful that they would do that with a high profile case like this.
Consider things from Delay's point of view. If he did something wrong and thought he would be convicted of it he would take the plea bargain. He could keep his job and all this would blow over. However he decided not to take the plea bargain and lose his position in congress. This is why I say it sounds like he is innocent. I am not saying he is innocent but that it looks like it. We well see.
