In fiscal year 2022, only 290 of 71,954 defendants in federal criminal cases – about 0.4% – went to trial and were acquitted, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the latest available statistics from the federal judiciary. Another 1,379 went to trial and were found guilty (1.9%).
The overwhelming majority of defendants in federal criminal cases that year did not go to trial at all. About nine-in-ten (89.5%) pleaded guilty, while another 8.2% had their case dismissed at some point in the judicial process, according to the data from the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
Sounds like slavery with extra steps.
Sounds like pure slavery:
catch someone
take away their freedom
force them to work
Oh, there’s a trial and some other stuff. There are extra steps. Still slavery, though.
Only if you’re one of the lucky outliers.
To get a slave, you had to go to the slave market. Same deal
