The only people let go on a technicality are those that can afford a good attorney. People with a public defender will almost always plead out because their overworked and under paid attorney advises them too.
The public defenders have hundreds of clients a year and are often only able to provide each client with a day or so of attention.
If you are poor and accused of a crime odds are you are going to be found guilty. If you are rich and accused of a crime, odds are you have a good attorney who has the resources and connections to find that "technicality"

- wonderwonder 10y agoI really like this idea.
