American justice system is broken; if you’re arrested you get put in jail until your court date unless you can pay the bail. If you can’t pay the bail then you can be in jail for months or years for something you didn’t do. The prosecutor will tell you to take plea deal for a shorter sentence or risk losing fighting in court and get a more severe punishment. A lot of innocent people end up taking plea deals because the odds are against them. Court cases can drag on for years and cost a fortune in lawyer fees. The biggest lie is that you’re 'innocent until proven guilty'. If you get accused of a felony and end being proven innocent, there’s still no way to get that off your permanent record and will show up in background checks and follow you for life.
