Yes. People are arrested all the time and not convicted. A painter and electrician could be working in a crack house when the cops arrest everyone in the crack house. When the situation is examined the painter and electrician are released. A number of disorderly people are arrested and made to sleep in the drunk tank overnight. There, they will neither hurt anyone else or get hurt themselves. They are released in the morning when they are sober. Then there is mistaken identity. This comes up in court. A witness says, "That is not the man." Other things happen in court. A number of arrests are dropped because the prosecutor decides there is no case. In a number of cases, the prosecutor loses his case in court.
