Kim Foxx’s office is bragging about an 86% felony approval rate — but they don’t talk about the percentage of cases they drop – CWB (Chicago)

"Foxx’s office is less boastful of another statistic: Cook County prosecutors have successfully convicted just 60% of Chicago felony cases this year, according to the state’s attorney’s data."

I call her “Misdemeanor Kim”. She has a way of making felonies magically disappear…if she doesn’t just drop the charges completely. She’s the inventor of “misdemeanor murder”!

If Fooxx only prosecutes “100% slam dunk conviction” cases, as she proudly notes, then of course her conviction rate seems successfully high, in isolation of true context of those many many arrests not approved for charges. But if Fooxx’s conviction rate is presently only 86% of those “100%” cases, then her incompetence is extremely worrisome.

So 86% of felons approve of the job she’s doing. I would have guessed 100%.
