Out of 3200 arrested? Less than 10%. That’s better than I would have thought.
Or any of us would have thought.
It’s always something.

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.
