That's how our legal system has been allowed to operate all the way down to civil court unfortunately. I've seen much the same happen first hand in civil matters. I've also seen a person convicted of a crime when the case took 4 years to be tried, a charge that had max of 1 year in jail mind you, and the only evidence offered was eye witness testimonials that disagreed with each other and photos of the scene (aka a room) taken days before trial and having nothing to do with the crime in question. Our legal system is far from infallible.
