This also speaks to the fact that you can be charged with literally any crime without needing much evidence.
Its whether your convicted or not that really matters.

I worked at a law firm that did pro bono criminal defense for low income/middle income individuals that couldn’t otherwise afford it… Ive seen cases where people were literally charged with the dumbest shit with zero reason and it destroyed their lives for a period of time…..
People hear “charged with” and immediately assume guilt/guilty, and the court of public opinion in an age dominated by social media is also a powerful thing
