But wouldn't the pleaded guilty and convicted people overlap?

Also, source article?

the distinction is between those who worked out a plea bargain (plead guilty) and those who were found guilty by a jury at trial (plead not guilty and were then convicted). both are, technically, convictions, but the difference is between those who owned up to their crimes (and saved the courts and the taxpayers the trouble and expense of a trial) and those who tried to get away with it.

Yeah I assumed that, but the graphic should really make that clear.
