The U.S. Constitution guarantees a criminal defendant the right to be tried by a jury of their peers.
However, the reality of the criminal legal system doesn’t always follow the Constitution. Ninety-seven percent of federal cases and 94% of state cases end in plea bargains, which is an agreement between prosecutors and defendants so long as defendants plead guilty on a lesser charge. These numbers are through the roof.
Clark Neily, senior vice president for legal studies at the D.C. thinktank Cato Institute, joins Yodit Tewolde on “Making the Case” to explain how the plea bargaining system is inherently repressive.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
