'It's a bigger problem than people think," FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin tells Fox News Digital

..."We have just lost our damn minds when it comes to criminal prosecution," healthcare defense attorney Ron Chapman told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Ninety-five percent of cases do not go to trial, because prosecutors can find fuzzy statutes to get such high maximums or even mandatory minimums at play, which force innocent people to plead guilty. And that's what we're dealing with — we're dealing with tons of innocent people who may not be innocent of all the crimes, but they're innocent of the ones that were overcharged against them."

Don’t you just love their cry of - “.. our prisons are filled with black men!…” -as though they were just picked up off the street to be incarcerated because they are black.. and for NO other reason..
