"Without a body, proving that someone has committed murder is difficult but not impossible. The conviction rate for no-body murder cases that go to trial is higher than that of all murder cases, with about 86 percent of no-body murder cases resulting in convictions compared to a 70 percent conviction rate for all murder cases.
Apparently if these numbers are true, it seems without a body, proving someone has committed murder is NOT that difficult, since that conviction rate is higher than when a murder was committed and a body was found.
I do not put much faith in the answers returned by AI, because the answer is only as good as the data it has access to. I was also shocked by the supposed number of no body found cases that supposedly went to trial, especially since I asked for the number just in the U.S. 500 is kind of a too convenient round number which makes me suspicious at best. (86 * 5) would mean that 430 out of 500 were convicted.
Mainly because I had always heard that no body found cases were rarely brought to trial because the DA's were extremely reluctant to even try the case.
After all, all to often their careers are rated upon their conviction rate.
I was also suspicious of the claim that the very first case was brought in the late 1800's.
Lastly, because I didn't have much faith in the answer, I didn't even bother to click on the sources AI had used to return the answer that it did.
I find it good that 3 people at least were willing to speak out and question the results. Because my biggest concern regarding AI is people excepting the answer returned as being the gospel answer. For the answer needs to always be questioned. 🙂👍
