I am saying that no one has a decent chance of a fair trial.

People plead guilty all the time when they are innocent and can fight. They see that the system is rigged and bow out to limit its damage to their lives.

You think a man with unlimited resources can’t get a fair trial? There are serious structural problems with our legal system, but almost none of them apply to billionaires.

Elon can afford the best lawyers in the world, and unlimited expert witnesses to tell his side of the story. The prosecution has almost none of their usual advantages against a billionaire.
