    This is a very helpful post on the Third Circuit reversals. Especially at a time when convictions are being affirmed at the rate of 95%, up from 91% just a few years ago. (Hat tip to Peter Goldberger for the statistic.)

    Ellen, you’re right. Last year’s 5% CA3 reversal rate was anomalously low. Since 2001, it’s only been below 9% one other year. The overall trend is fewer reversals, but I suspect last year was a statistical outlier rather than the new normal. I’ve been geeking out on reversal stats and will have a post later today.
