You hit the nail on the head.

They initially charge you with more severe crimes and a decent number of them, with the expectation that you’ll plead out to at least one of them thus landing them a conviction.

Not sure if RPD does this but have had a Henrico prosecutor tell me verbatim that’s why their conviction rate is so high.

Va for lovers❤️

Would love to hear more about this! I organize in Richmond around police violence (as well as labor and tenant organizing) but I just moved to henrico so would love to organize in my new neighborhood too!
