It's perfectly plausible to say that the outstanding cases will follow the same pattern as those already finished. Unless you have some inside information that there is an army of Croats and Albanians in the dock waiting to be convicted.

Regarding Kosovo, it is a well-known fact that when the number of people in a category drops below about 5, statistical tests become insufficiently powerful. In the case of Kosovo the expected numbers are small enough you can't really draw any conclusions. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
That's a ratio of 8 Croats : 17 Serbs. Croatian population= 4,5 M Serbian population= 8 M (not counting Kosovo Albanians)
You are beginning to appear disingenuous. You keep moving the goalposts. Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
The cases outstanding only favour the Croats and this by a very small margin. So I'd still go with the convicted indicator.
Compare indictments, or break down the indictments into convictions, acquittals and outstanding cases, if you like to. But using only convictions is nonsense as long as there are cases outstanding.
Second, I'm not arguing that you should use acquittals - I'm arguing that you should use [convictions*(1 + ongoing/acquittals)], which, unlike convictions, would make sense... kind of.
