How is it possible that Japan has a 99% conviction rate?
In: 3178
There are also very few jury trials. I lived there in the early 2000’s and they had just started some of these with some civil cases and people were convinced it was a terrible idea. They usually have a three judge panel deciding convictions and I was told by some of the koban officers I got to know that after an arrest unless they know they can convict they just drop the charges that aren’t fines.
