Minor cases with innocent defendants follow a standard script:
Beginning: I will not plead guilty to something I didn't do
Ending: My attorney got me a great plea bargain
Note that even though the op had an "affirmative defense", the state did not walk away - it insisted on a symbolic victory of a CWOF to preserve the prosecutor's win record.
