How often does the prosecutor win against your average criminal charge, when the case actually goes to trial with a competent defense attorney?

Ballpark?

50/50?
What?

 

[Goosemaster]

As often as the mob tell them to.

98% if a black defendant is involved.

Anywhere to really find a statistic?

Annually, prosecutors' offices in large districts closed over 1 million felony cases, with a median conviction rate of 85%

as often as a jury can be convinced?

85% can't be accurate. Plea bargains count as wins surely. I want to know trial results.

Take out race and compare people of simular incomes/regions. Then tell me if you still believe that.

If a person uses their own attorny prob around 50% with a high deviation.

If a person uses a Court Aptd Attorny, prob around 80%.
