Another "logical conclusion" from Reinhard's first point was that judges should be given more control in sentencing people. Prosecutors have the power to charge people with crimes that have mandatory minimum sentences. As Reinhard said, "People who are actually innocent face incredible pressure to take a plea deal, knowing that if a jury finds them guilty, a judge might be forced to send them to prison even if the facts speak to a far different outcome."
In regards to our grand jury system, Perlow stated that ,"It amazes me that there are people who believe we want to file cases where there isn’t sufficient evidence". She also said,"Fewer than 10 percent of criminal cases filed in Lane County go to trial", which means prosecutors only have to have sufficient evidence to scare the defendant into taking a plea deal. They really don't need enough evidence to prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt".
Running  out of space so will say more in another post.
