I'd say the drug thing alone puts it higher than 10%. How many people get convicted as dealers based on the amount they have in possession, even though they never intended to sell any of it?
And I'm not sure about other states, but here in IL, if you get accused of something along the lines of assault and/or battery, and you don't have any witnesses to back you up or a rock solid alibi, you're pretty much screwed. I've known half a dozen people that were convicted because they couldn't prove that they didn't do it. Three of them ended up doing time, the other three ended up plea bargaining.
