Featured Review: The Dark Knight
|

and the newest addition to the Batman series begins, a chill runs
through the audience. We are about to see a man in the last role he’s

 Only 1 percent of completed criminal cases in Wisconsin’s Circuit Court system from the last three years went to trial while a quarter of the nearly half a million cases were dismissed and close to three-fourths were disposed through plea agreements before trial, a Frontpage Milwaukee investigation has found.
In fact, nine counties each took less than 1 percent of their criminal cases to trial, even though they had a combined 23, 958 cases over the three year period. Adams County, in particular, disposed of 2,345 criminal cases from 2005 to 2007 and had only two of those cases go to trial.

court cases in the past three years, ranking seventh out of 72
Wisconsin counties, a Frontpage Milwaukee investigation found. However, the state’s largest county didn’t regularly hatch deals with
defendants. In fact, it was one of the least likely counties in the
state to settle cases through stipulation and plea bargaining.more
