    Yeah, been like this for quite a while. They can drag you for a while, lose their case, shrug it off, and continue as normal.

    Meanwhile, you lost your job after your arrest, maybe even were denied bail and had to stay ~2 years in jail waiting for trial, and spent $100k on legal expenses. Winning at trial gives you no restitution for those massive losses. You’re expected to also shrug it off and continue life.
