9:29Now PlayingThe 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.

All this and more on “Making the Case.”
