Original Note:
A high conviction rate is not necessarily indicative of a justice system that disproportionately convicts innocents. Rather, the conviction rate in Japan may be so high due to low prosecutorial budgets that necessitates selection of only the best, most clear cases to charge. https://hls.harvard.edu/bibliography/why-is-the-japanese-conviction-rate-so-high/
