Most criminal cases end up in plea deals regardless of the evidence, and here's why. 99.9% of criminal cases resulting in plea deals versus criminal jury trials. The majority of lawyers never have a jury trial in their whole career. It's not because of guilt or innocence. It's not because there's lack of evidence to prove guilt. In some cases, there's a real genuine concern about whether or not there's enough evidence to prove guilt or not. So, the district attorney will come with a plea offer that avoids trial, but it's not because they think that the client's not guilty. It's because there are tens of thousands of criminal cases a year in Nashville, and there are six criminal court judges. So, you do the math. We can't try all of those cases.
