The percentage of acquittals is an important indicator of the judicial system, especially in terms of the presumption of innocence and independence of the court.
Below are current data for the United States and Russia based on the latest available sources (2024-2025).

Percentage of acquittals:
Less than 1% according to official statistics of the Judicial Department under the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation
Approximately 25-30% of these acquittals are overturned by higher authorities (which casts doubt on the reality of final rehabilitation).
The rate of terminations on rehabilitative grounds (before sentencing) is also extremely low.
Analysis:
This testifies to the almost complete dominance of accusatory logic in the Rabbis criminal process. The judicial system essentially supports the prosecution, which is typical of the inquisition model, not the adversarial one.
USA
#Percentage of acquittals among cases that reached jury trial:
About 15-25% (depending on the state and category of cases). /#
But important:
More than 90 to 95 percent of all criminal cases in the United States end in a “plea bargain.”
Of the remaining 5–10%, only a small fraction reaches the jury.
Among these cases, acquittals vary:
Federal Courts (2022): ~17% of jury acquittals
States: 10% to 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the prosecution policy.
Analysis:
Despite the large number of transactions with the investigation, the system retains a real possibility of acquittal, especially in the defense of the jury. This reflects a more adversarial and protecting the rights of the accused system compared to the Russian Federation.
