Out of 3100 arrested? Less than 10%. That’s better than I would have thought.

Are you suggesting that the other 2800 are going to trial?

[jon-nyc]

That would never happen under any conceivable scenario in any jurisdiction except police states that do mass show trials. Most cases are pled. Nowhere do we have resources to take every arrest to trial.

Good point. Do you think that 90% of the arrested/charged will plea to a lesser charge? Only will 2% go to trial if history is an indicator.

For the most part that might be true unless…

Inevitably there always seem to be caveats on blanket statements like that.

Last I heard, houndstooth check was English fabric. In any event, this is exactly the kind of oversensitivity we've come to know and abhor.
