Vermont's Plea Bargain Problem: A Missed Jury Trial
-
Narrated by:

By:
In Vermont, a staggering 97% of misdemeanor convictions result from guilty pleas, not jury trials, due to prosecutors power and heavy caseloads. Prosecutors often overcharge to secure pleas, leaving defendants with limited options. To address this, Vermont should require prosecutors prove cases beyond reasonable doubt before charging and increase court diversion programs. This would reduce caseloads, promote jury trials, and center justice on public safety.
