You’re definitely naive. I’ve worked through the legal system. And I can tell you from the workings on the inside, it’s definitely not a fair system. I can only tell you about New York City but overzealous prosecutors exists everywhere. That’s their job.
So no, you’re not intentionally wrong, but you’re infatuated with a corrupted system. And writing it in caps doesn’t make you more right.
But I would advise you to speak to your colleagues, those who practice criminal law, and you might get a different opinion.

Avi K. You’re missing the point. By the very fact that a civil court system is created to keep the peace vs assign who is innocent who’s guilty, proves that being found guilty by the court system doesn’t actually mean you’re guilty. It means that the government has a reason to do something with you or your property to keep the peace.

“Moreover, the probability is very high that they are, in fact, guilty. Even if some are not guilty of the specific crimes charged they very likely committed similar crimes but were not caught.”

And how do you know any of this? Because the prosecutor is telling you ? You have my blessings never to know how this actually works.
