“[Defendants do not have a right to expect crimes to go unpunished for lack of public funds. [Citation.] Thus, disqualification is not required merely because financial assistance has made prosecution economically feasible. [Citation.] [¶] ... [¶][T]he interest to be served by a motion to disqualify a prosecutor is the defendant's interest in fair treatment. A defendant has the right to be treated the same as any other person in the same circumstances and thus has the right to expect the prosecutor to be free of the influence of private parties who may have a particular reason for wanting to see the defendant prosecuted and convicted. But a defendant does not have a right or expectation of falling through the cracks for want of resources or lack of prosecutorial zeal. [Citation.]”
