Not true; it is possible to be convicted of a crime of which you are innocent.

Even when guilty, there are many punishments which are unconscionable and amoral to impose for the crimes. For example, stoning a woman to death because she talked to a man who is not a relative. Another is third strike life in prison for smoking pot.
