Don't know how you figure that. Most violent crimes are committed by a very small portion of society. Lock them up so they're not out committing another one a week later.You want a LOT more trials? How willing are you to pay for all those judges and their bloated pensions, the public defenders, the extra courthouse space, etc.? As it is right now only 2% of cases go to trials. That's is, 2%. Most (90%) are all pleas. You get rid of pleas then you need those judges. Last time I checked they aren't cheap to hire.
Only 2% of federal criminal defendants went to trial in 2018, and most who did were found guilty

Looks like a terrific neighborhood.
You'll get all those criminals either in jail or out on bail awaiting trial. They go to trial and end up locked up for what remains of those 20 years. That entire time, the neighborhoods they terrorize and wreck benefit from their not being there. The only losers in that case are the abusers.You want a LOT more trials?

The 27-year-old, identified by police as Smiley Martin, was found at the scene of the Sunday morning shooting with what police described as "serious injuries from gunfire."
While hospitalized, he remains under police supervision. He was taken into custody Tuesday morning and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun.
10 years and up to a $250k fine?
Yeah ok

Sadly these victims will not get much publicity because the shooter is not a good candidate to feed the narrative.
Lock these thugs for good early on so you don't have to deal with their bigger crimes later.

well look at that .. one of the shooters was just released early from a 10 yrs sentence .

The CA Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says:
"Smiley Martin, 27, was received by CDCR in January 2018 from Sacramento County with a 10 year sentence for corporal injury and assault likely to cause great bodily injury. Prior to reaching a CDCR facility, Martin had already received 508 days of pre-sentencing credits, and received a variety of additional post-sentencing credits. He was released to Sacramento County probation in February 2022." "

Early prison release of Sacramento mass shooting suspect calls credit system into question
The suspect was released in February after serving just over half of a 10-year sentence because of his pre-sentencing credits. A legal expert says that system may now be in question, "particularly when you look at the carnage that occurred in downtown Sacramento."

We are being told by Brandon to suck it up and pay higher energy costs to save the world. Why not pay more for fewer crime ridden streets?You want a LOT more trials?

If they guy is actually locked up for 20 years, that's probably 20-30 fewer arrests and convictions than you would have under the current system where he's back out and offending again by lunch time.

They still do strike out.
But they get to bat again
New no penalty laws allow them to
(at minimum)
keep the score tied for endless extra innings.
