You would be correct.
And in the world of today this kind of destruction could happen to almost anyone. The charges do not even have to be real to result in your ruin. A claim, an investigation and pursuit of evidence can be enough to destroy you.
Different than the Zimmerman case but almost anyone can become a target. Basically, if you have anything you need to keep it to yourself. Anybody who exhibits conspicuous well being can become a target for someone who has less and wants to take it away.
Even that’s not foolproof. The two white British tourists were killed by a black even after they showed him that they had no money. He had every intention of killing them, telling some people near him before he walked over to the the tourists, “Watch these crackers” and laughing. They pleaded for their lives and he killed them like a low IQ, agression-ridden, no-impulse-control-having savage.
