In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn't mean they're innocent.
It just another example of having ridiculous amounts of money in our legal system means it's really hard to be hel accountable.

Don't forget the flip-side of that - the prisons are full of poor people who do not deserve to be there. It's almost as if the system was designed to be like this...
Also, being a multimillionaire puts a target on your back. I'll never forget the story about a man who already had a couple of million winning a huge lottery and how lawsuits, among other ever worse things, destroyed his life.
