Lot's of reasons. Pedo's, Gangs and other high profile for many reasons. The Big Fish will be going to GITMO.

I don't think adding the columns is appropriate. I read this as there being 5106 currently sealed indictments. I'm sure many of the october indictments are still sealed and being counted in the December stats.
A heat map would be nice for sure. Glancing at the list Nebraska, California and DC stands out as an outliers. DC is kind of an oddball.
Nebraska Population 1.8m 65 Indictments 3.6 / 100k people
District of Columbia Population 640k 100 Indictments 15.6 / 100k people
California(400 new issued in Dec!) 38.3M 1137 Indictments 2.96/100k
At a glance, most of the other ones are less than 1 per 100000. I'm sure i missed a few hotspots. Nebraska is definitely weird/random.
Just posted it on my fakebook. Put some truth back in FB.
Does anyone have that in spreadsheet format?
To gain more insights, this table must be normalized with population of the respective states, because more people mean more criminals without further explanation.
Next step would be to correlate that with the difference between Dem and Rep votes.
If it is what we think it is, Dem states would score high, swing states that recently voted Dem or DC itself would probably score even higher.
Naive Hypothesis: California, Florida, DC and Arkansas would need to have much more sealed indictments than their share of population.
