    the 99% conviction rate is a very common statistic provided by the supreme people’s court of China

    “This is so common, it’s everywhere, everyone knows it, it’s so easy to find, but I’m going to link to fucking Wikipedia instead so I can use it to launder a number from some bullshit NGO”

    “Are U.S. federal courts a sham?”

    How bad does your conviction rate need to be for you to accept that a judicial system has fair trials? Do you want police and prosecutors pursuing a bunch of cases they can’t adequately prove?

      fair trials are not simply about the conviction rate, they are about the rights of the citizens holding up under the oppression of the court.
