Yeah. That's one of the big inequities built into the system. You basically have to have tons of resources for a good lawyer, and an ironclad way to prove your innocence, and also be willing to roll the dice that you won't get fucked for life anyway just because you got unlucky in the trial. If you don't have all three of those things, you're fucked from the start even if you didn't do anything.
