[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 884816, member: 2189"] Something that surprised me on that thought was that the conviction rate in the citizen courts were vastly higher than the Gitmo courts so for those who are looking for that outcome ie guilty verdict, the evidence seems to suggest public courts is the way to go. The problem is the rules of evidence where in the public courts, the bar is much higher than in the military courts. Even still, a 91% conviction rate with nearly 60% pleading guilty as per a [URL="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=120849479"][COLOR=#ff0000]2009' NPR piece[/COLOR][/URL] seems pretty strong to me.
