Hmmmmmmmm, no. Not really to both Carmen and Winston.
If you are well off, then you have lawyers to challenge prosecution evidence and do investigations of your own. If you are poor, you’re either forced to sit in jail because you can’t pay bail or accept a plea when you’re innocent to get out. Some “evidence” for crimes such as sexual assault is often found in a multitude of victims to similar accusations of a similar pattern by an individual. It’s called circumstantial evidence and a preponderance of quality evidence can point the way to guilt as much a video of the crime can.
But we (the US today) practices a very two tiered system with the poor and minorities paying the highest prices. It is a system “designed” (sorta) to keep the well off as they are and others suppressed. And don’t kid yourself.
