Thanks.

I’d imagine it would be cost prohibitive to take a peeing in the bushes charge to jury trial though?

Sounds like the sort of thing one would only do if they were aiming to set a precedent for some reason?

95% of cases are settled before reaching jury trial. Usually a plea bargain for criminal cases. Settlement for civil cases. Or dismissal. The other 5% are expensive.
