yeah, sadly, the US system isn't about guilt or innocence anymore, just "did they touch all the bases and is everyone involved in everything totally 110% above reproach". It is way too easy to get off, and way to hard to convict - and the penalties for being found guilty are often too small compared to the crimes.
