Oh, okay. Now that's quite an unexpected response to get here.

Nothing can have both an effect and not an effect at the same time. It's a logical error and reformulating this same error is not a fix.

I will try. As soon as "objective innocence isn't a given", the prosecutor will be able to produce true evidence to prove you guilty (not always, but mostly). Thus "will go nowhere". If "objective innocence" is given, the prosecutor, by definition, can't provide true evidence to prove you guilty. So they need help to hold up their fake case, and one way to provide help for that is acting like an ingenuous innocent who thinks nothing can happen to them because they are innocent.
