What's the proportion of cases the PD handles?

I don't have stats on SF. LA Public Defender handled 70% of felony cases and 55% of misdemeanor cases in 2009 (https://scholarlycommons.law.cwsl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1078&context=cwlr …). A casual search shows that's largely on par with most cities.
