This data is from the USDOJ.
http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/soo.pdf
Figure 12 on page 18 shows that of the men arrested for rape in 6 states in 1990, 20% were not prosecuted, 29% had their charges dismissed, 48% were convicted, 2% were aquitted and 1% fall into an "other" category. To talk about juries siding with either side, only contested cases are relevant. They report that 80% of the convictions were by guilty pleas. That leaves 20% of 48% = a little over 9% convicted in trial. 9% convicted to 2% acquitted is a fairly large lopside in favor of the plaintiff. BUT, you still can't draw any big conclusion as it does not break down the cases into types. There is no way from this data to know what evidence was presented at how many of these trials. It is entirely possible that the 2% aquittals were all he said/she said and the 9% trial convictions had better evidence. It is equally possible, and in my opinion likely, that the ones with good evidence were the ones that plead guilty and that the 11% contested cases probably had lower amounts of evidence. From everything I've seen and heard, slam dunk cases don't go to trial.
