EL PASO TAXPAYER REVOLT INTERVIEWS EL PASO DISTRICT ATTORNEY BILL HICKS, 3/6/24

Published | Video Starts at 20:40

So on any average year, the DA's office screens about 30,000 cases. About 30,000 roughly are presented to the DA's office in an average year. Of those 30,000, we take anywhere from 19 to 21,000, somewhere in that range and put them in the court system. That number would be a little lower, about 17,000 to 19,000 if there's not that many cases coming in. So if there's only about 28,000, then you look about 17,000 cases being put into the court system. (20:40–20:49)

CLAIM

Asserts that 19,000 to 21,000 cases are typically put into the court system annually.
