sometimes conviction happens absent the slam dunk.

So the corrupt escape because there is reasonable doubt? Who is the corrupt in that scenario, the accused or the prosecutor?

You may want to refresh your memory on the concept of “rule of law”.

“The cornerstone to American Criminal Jurisprudence is that the accused is presumed innocent until guilt is proved beyond a reasonable doubt”

So yes, that is how it is supposed to work. Equally enforced and fairly adjudicated.

Corrupt escape if they’re not indicted/charged.
