"...I think it's something about remorse. Maintaining innocence when you know you're guilty shows a lack of remorse..."

Perhaps a rephrase which solves your objection:

“Maintaining innocence when you know the State has decided you are guilty shows a lack of willingness to subordinate yourself to the State.”
