Lots of (but not all) prosecutors seem to keep win-loss stats on themselves. Not so sure about public records to that fact, but I'd give Cad some credence in his estimation. Of course that's really looking at cases they choose to bring to trial, lots of shit is lost before it ever gets started.

Family in Constitutional Law (not criminal although no doubt there's some overlap) is quoting me 75% is a good benchmark of what "good prosecutors" manage, with many closer to the even mark.

The "non-emergency number" is who the 911 operators transfer you to when you call for something of that sort - it's not any less "serious" of a type of call. In fact for the type of stuff he was reporting it was cutting to the chase more.

One city in the nation is an outlier, how interesting. Plus you're assuming Dallas doesn't fudge the numbers for his sake. (For example in many states plea bargains are considered separate in conviction rate - bet his 99.4% is [in fact I guarantee it])

Clearly, you don't remember the riots after the Rodney King beating. Here's a snappy song about it:Only real minorities around me are hispanics, and they like blacks even less than whites do. I'll be fine

What?!? You honestly think that all of the calls listed as Non Emergency Number calls in that list are ones that 911 has forwarded him to? From this page right here,http://www.sanfordfl.gov/index.aspx?page=344it says the Non-Emergency Number is 407.688.5199 and if you look at any of the transcripts of his call from that night, they all start with "Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department"

No - I mean for a "I suspect someone breaking in call" the 911 operator will then transfer you to the "non-emergency" number because its a non-emergency. Emergency numbers are supposed to be used for an imminent issue that involves life and limb - which his did not at that point.
Not that he called 911 and the transferred number was showing as such - that if he did call 911 he would've been forwarded to the same number and was just cutting out the 911 operator middleman.

Depends on the story you are trying to tell (or in your case, spin). I take from it he was responsible enough to know when something was worth a 911 emergency call, and when something simply required police attention. It makes me think he is a more rational and calm individual for not going "omg 911 halp!" Having called both 911 and the non-emergency line myself before, I can appreciate the difference. Sure the result is the same, but how you go about it matters. I would think far less of some crank always calling 911 for shit.
