"District attorneys should not be evaluated on the basis of how many cases they have filed or how many convictions they have. They should be evaluated on how their interventions have promoted public safety" - @chesaboudinhttps://48hills.org/2020/12/da-boudin-we-dont-see-jail-or-prison-as-the-only-or-basic-response-to-crime/ …

It was all about FELONY jury trial stats. One female DA I worked with had none. She was up for promotion in a couple of months. She find out I had 18. She hiked up offers to force trials. Got to 20 in three months (which is insane). Got promoted. STOPPED doing trials after that.

If you’re filing cases, there’s even more pressure because you aren’t doing jury trials. You have to show your work by getting filing numbers up. If case is borderline you file it for the stat and let the trial deputy worry about providing it or settling it!
