I think that some care should be taken on statistics like "99.9% indictment rate". If you can control the number of cases in the denominator, then you can make it match the numerator. (I'm implying that if the grand jury is looking bad, you can close the case before they indict.) In that case, anything not equal to 100% just tells you that someone doesn't know how to play the numbers game... and in 2021, EVERYONE knows how to play the numbers game.
