The main leverage prosecutors have now days is you are going to be financially ruined trying to defend yourself. Innocent or not it's a lose lose for normal people.
The prosecutor's don't have this leverage over the rich.

Prosecution should be about finding out the truth, and finding out parties responsible for a wrong (and force them to make amends somehow).
- joobus 8y agoGov can have that power over the rich too. Gov will freeze all their assets, claiming they were gotten illegally, and then even rich people can't pay their lawyers. See Kim Dotcom, for example. It's not that gov can't prosecute the rich; they just don't want to.
- jarsin 8y agoYes the Gov prosecutes the rich from time to time, but it typically only happens if one rich guy pisses off a bunch of other richer guys. As is the case with Kim Dotcom.
