That's no more rational than saying "If the government spent $200
million on the trial, they must have been guilty."

That's not a rationalization. It's simply an observation made to me by judge
Richard Ray Ford of Tennessee. Basically, the fact is that, if the prosecution
has a case, it will be made fairly rapidly. Cases brought long after the
incident rarely are based on provable fact.
