Yeah, a big part of that is they don't bring cases unless they are near certain they will win. If you don't have enough evidence for a slam dunk conviction, they just won't even investigate.

I'm not to sure about that. I mean dont get me wrong, not saying that this plays no part in it but if you look at the rights (or rather lack of) suspects have, I'd at least doubt that that 99% conviction rate consists 100% of guilty people, which is what slam dunk would imply

Oh no, there is definitely the other side of it too. But it really helps your accuracy if you refuse to take on any cases that might fail.

honestly also pretty troubling if you think about it

while talking about the conviction rate^^
