conviction rate for federal prosecutors

The thing is that they, like state and local prosecutors, prosecute poor people who can't afford effective representation tens if not hundreds of times as often.

If you isolate their stats with regards to rich and/or powerful defendants like the Mango Mussolini, suddenly they don't convict at anywhere near that rate.

The difference is so immense that even an obviously guilty oaf with incompetent and unhinged lawyers like him is more likely than not to win or at the very least delay until his own death at his country club home.

Oh so you "isolated the stats" then.

Great, share them!

Even though it doesn't seem like you're gonna argue in good faith, here's a review of a book about it.

Oh God, I don't even know where to start. How do you "argue in good faith" with someone who cites a book revire as evidence? And then you bother to look at the book reviee and it says nothing about winning at trial/after charging due to wealth?
