Are there statistics comparing and contrasting plea bargain % between public and private defenders nationwide?

Joe B asked:


I’m just curious to see how much of a disparity there is between public and private defenders with regard to plea bargains.

Is there a gross disparity because of work loads if any at all?

Any ideas?
If 90% are plea bagained, what % would you assume comes from public defenders and % from private?

Are there additional factors I’m not accounting for that would skew the statistics?
