I wasn't quibbling about the negligible difference between 90% and 94%. You missed the point. Even assuming 94% convictions, my bigger point is that most are obtained through confession/plea bargain.
But when you isolate the cases where the defendant fights back and moves to go to trial, the numbers are DECIDEDLY different, and that was my point in reference to Vick.
The point I illustrated, using 2004 numbers (they were the first ones I found on a google search, but they are indicative of year to year pattern), would stand up for any of the years you're referring to as well.
Ahhh.
I see what your getting at.
I dont’ see him avoiding a plea bargain...but if he’s that stupid, then your numbers will perhaps come into play.
Personally, I think he’s toast either way...the only question is will he cut a deal and do a year, or fight it and do a decade.
