Yes, it is. Human nature isn't to blame here. It's a justice system that allows for those in power (position, authority, wealth, etc.) to accuse those with less means of defending themselves without repercussions.

Yeah, I absolutely agree that the immunity that various actors in the justice system enjoy, both legally and extra-legally, is absurd and a huge problem.

I'm also saying: we need to take accusations from these people with a grain of salt. They're wrong a huge part of the time.
