Can I count a 60-ish% win?
From public defender blogger MissTyrios:
Sphere: Related ContentI had my first jury trial last week.
It was terrifying at first. And then, as I think I have said a lot of times here, I totally forgot that there were other people there and I just did it. And I did it well, I think. On a seven count complaint, I got required findings of Not Guilty on four counts (all the felonies). Then the last three counts (all misdemeanors) went to the jury, which came back Guilty on all three. So technically I got Not Guilty verdicts in a jury trial…just not from the jury itself. But it is a huge relief to get that first one over with. And I am proud of myself.

from a fellow public defender: bravo.
getting felonies dropped is a complete win in my book.
