Vast majority of federal cases are plea deals. Frozen assets, stacked charges, potential for long jail time are all pressure designed to make you accept a deal

Yeah they don't really care about guilt or innocence once you're charged, all they care about is that 98% conviction rate. Cops/Prosecutors may have been decent people at some point but the modern versions do not care about guilt or innocence, only conviction rates and padding their careers with marks scratched in the wall.
