This book delves into a municipality's justice system through the lens of an investigation conducted by the Cleveland Foundation Survey of Criminal Justice. The survey unearthed shocking statistics indicating the majority of criminal cases never reached trial due to a prosecutor's excessive discretion in deciding whether to proceed. Prosecutors were found to be dropping charges with little explanation, accepting guilty pleas to lesser offenses, suspending sentences, and handing out probation at alarming rates.
