What percentage of criminal cases go to trial?
The answer to that depends on the type of crime, the state you are in, and the defendants ability to cooperate. That being said, the number of criminal cases that actually go to trial is quite low.

Many or most jurisdictions require that the parties attend mediation prior to trial. This is a process by which an independent third part, who may be an attorney or a retired judge intervenes to try to facilitate a settlement. Typically, the mediator points out the strengths and weaknesses of the parties respective cases (while meeting them alone) and tries to get them to understand that going to trial is a "roll of the dice". In contrast, if the case is resolved in mediation, the parties have far more control of the outcome.
