That's 21% charged with a crime, not convicted. More than 11% of American men will actually serve time in prison over a lifetime.

That really doesn't seem all that disproportionate. Besides, in this case, the only evidence that Sawne Merriman committed a felony is the dispute word of a not-terribly-credible witness. One who, it should be noted, served a citizen's arrest warrant, because the police evidently saw no reason to charge him themselves.

That’s 21% only that have come to light.

I am sure the % is much higher.
