The way I can read her mind is by remembering “Presumption of innocence.”

The way you think the world works and the way the world actually works are two entirely different things. The justice system exists to punish the poor, and punish rich people who have fucked over other rich people.

Even if she wins, she would only do so from pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars on lawyer fees as this case continues as one judge reviews it, it gets appealed, and then some other judge looks at it. Over the course of years, and she'll be rotting in prison during that time. Because you know... the $100,000 fucking bond!

97% of the time, they take the plea deal, anyway.
