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. The author contends this discretion granted to prosecutors was being abused, resulting in widespread failures within the justice system. The book concludes by advocating for immediate changes to restore proper balance to the system.
