[求助]求教大全test7-23

23.  Defendants who can afford expensive private defense lawyers have a lower conviction rate than those who rely on court-appointed public defenders. This explains why criminals who commit lucrative crimes like embezzlement or insider trading are more successful at avoiding conviction than are street criminals.

The explanation offered above would be more persuasive if which one of the following were true?

(A) Many street crimes, such as drug dealing, are extremely lucrative and those committing them can afford expensive private lawyers.

(B) Most prosecutors are not competent to handle cases involving highly technical financial evidence and have more success in prosecuting cases of robbery or simple assault.

(C) The number of criminals convicted of street crimes is far greater than the number of criminals convicted of embezzlement or insider trading.

(D) The percentage of defendants who actually committed the crimes of which they are accused is no greater for publicly defended than for privately defended defendants.

(E) Juries, out of sympathy for the victims of crimes, are much more likely to convict defendants accused of violent crimes than they are to convict defendants accused of “victimless” crimes or crimes against property.

为什么选择D？D怎么看都像是削弱的

没错阿，D用实际数据来加强结论，最后被判刑的被告用public no greater than用private的。

D的意思是不是：被公共指定的律师辩护的被告中真正犯了他们被指控罪的被告所占的比例不大于请私人辩护律师的被告中真正犯了罪的人的比例。

好像有点理解了，但是对这样有比例的题目觉得脑子有时候有点绕不过来。

谢谢楼上XG！

选项D的意思是说 那些用public lawyer的被告中真实的犯罪比率不比那些使用private lawyer的比率高,

也就是排除了 "那些花得起高律师费请private lawyer的被告中实际的犯罪比率就比使用public lawyer 的被告低" 这一导致lower conviction in defendants who can afford expensive private defense lawyers 的可能原因

谢谢！
