It is wayyyyyyyyy higher than that!
That % is based off of what is classified by the police as murders.
It is also based off of known death cases classified as murders.
It doesn't account for missing people who were murdered that the police haven't classified as murder.
It doesn't account for missing people who were murdered that aren't even classified or known to be missing.
It doesn't account for murders that were not classified as murders either.
So many suicides were murders and the coroner wasn't qualified or too lazy or whatever reason, and just called it suicide.
I been spoke about it on here. You are literally and statistically more likely to get away with murder than get convicted in America.
It has ALWAYS been like that.
*Also doesn't account for people convicted for murders that they didn't even commit and the actual killer walking around free.
Also, convicted murders who copped to extra murder cases for attention and for perks offered. There have been serial killers who were serving their sentences and copped to some unsolved murder cases they didn't commit because it meant nothing and they already were never getting out of prison.
