99% conviction rate. Nice law but practically, if you are accused you will get convicted. I don't know why they make a mockery of their judicial system. Either

  > Either a ton of bad guys don't get tried or a ton of innocent people are getting convicted. You missed a possibility. Maybe they put in sufficient effort during investigation and when deciding whether to prosecute to weed out all the innocent people then and build good cases against the actual bad guys. Very high conviction rights are symptoms of both puppet criminal justice systems that just convict whoever the state wants convicted and of criminal justice systems that only convict actual bad guys and do a good job of getting wrongly or mistakenly accused innocent people out of the system quickly. You need to look deeper to figure out which kind you are dealing with. It is when a criminal justice system has a low conviction rate that you can be sure something is wrong.

    Not 99% good. It's like Kim Jong Il winning 100% votes because he is that popular! The police and prosecutors must essentially be judges before the real judges who simply rubber stamp. Any lawyer would tell you a jury trial (if they have those) is 50/50 conviction rate and judges being human will have some error rate like there is a stat about judges in general convicting people more before lunch or at the end of the day when they are tired. You can't be that good consistently without something being done wrong, not with multiple human decision layers.
