No, it's not at all relevant to the discussion. It's a completely different discussion.
How so?
Because the discussion is how the conviction affects those 8% of people. Not that only 8% of people are convicted.
It also has no bearing on the topic of whether the ultra wealthy get away with it more than the working class, unless you provide the stats for the ultra wealthy.
The conversation you're trying to have is about low conviction rates, which is a valid topic, but a different conversation.
We were initially talking about how the conviction rate affects those 8%. And then we moved on to whether it is just Epstein class rapists that escape punishment for rape.
When conviction rates are around 8% of rape cases, that is proof that it is not just the Epstein class that avoids prosecution and conviction.
