From January to June, 1,505 felony cases ended in pleas and 49 ended in trials, while 5,856 misdemeanor cases ended in plea deals and 45 went to trial, according to Lee County Clerk of Court Charlie Green. The numbers conclude that about 99 percent of cases ended in a plea agreement.
"It's all strategy," said Kelly Worcester, State Attorney's Office felony supervisor. "It's a dance and most of the defendants know that."
Wow. 99% of all cases end in a deal.
