ReplyDeleteI'm dumb. 'Splain me the implications of that chart. (I'm hoping it means Ayres is more likely to be convicted.)
ReplyDeleteIt just shows the percentage of felony crimes that were tried that ended in conviction.
ReplyDeleteIn 2007, for example, 86 % of all felony crimes that went to trial in San Mateo ended in a conviction.
San Francisco has about a 75 % conviction rate.
