In theory YOU are correct also but that implies a belief that the court 
system:

1) Never gets it wrong.

2) Is not compromised.

3) Is not overwhelmed by political ambitions attempting to make "an arrest" 
in order to make headlines.

If none of that is the case, you are still left with the old case of "throw 
shit and it sticks". Eg, if you are accused, you are always suspect even if 
the case is never proven. Try to get a good job in a sensitive area 
thereafter.
