"Across the more than..."?
Is it grammatically correct to write "Across the more than,,,", or should you just say "Across more than..."?
For Example:
"Across the more than 500 or so cases which we settle over the course of a year, only ten per cent involve murder."
"Across more than 500 or so cases which we settle over the course of a year, only ten per cent involve murder."
For Example:
"Across the more than 500 or so cases which we settle over the course of a year, only ten per cent involve murder."
"Across more than 500 or so cases which we settle over the course of a year, only ten per cent involve murder."

"? The problem is that 'across' is the wrong word in your example. However, 'the' is called for: Among the more than 500 or so cases which we settle over the course of a year, only ten per cent involve murder.
