The point is that they have the resources to make anyone and I mean anyone say what ever they want them to say. They not only use fleets of lawyers but routinely use the Rico statutes, which strips the defendant of all resources needed to defend themselves (freeze all bank accounts, prevents them from selling properties, transferring funds). In short, they system is rigged in the states favor and no conviction by the state or feds is fair.
