The difference between 99 and 85 is only 14 %, so what - the 14% with the most expensive lawyers get off and everyone else gets forced into a plea deal. That's not less corrupt, just corruption organized differently. Also quantitatively, considering the difference between the total convictions 14% makes no difference. the us is still way ahead.
60% is meaningless in this context, it just shows that LEA focuses on the wrong types of crime. How many murders are unsolved? Whatever the number it is small compared to people who are arrested for whatever happens to be most convenient and profitable.
