If they want to get you, they will get you

When powerful authorities want to get you, they have a good chance of getting you. The average person doesn't have the finances to defend against the unlimited, taxpayer-funded pockets of the government.
If prosecutors think they may not have a good chance of convicting you at trial, they can threaten to stack felony charges, so if you are found guilty at trial you could end up with what amounts to a life sentence. This terrifies people, not knowing for sure how the trial could turn out, especially if they can't afford a powerful legal team. So they accept a guilty plea that will result in a relatively short sentence. But everyone then thinks they must have been guilty.
