this because the state's responsibility is to show cause...once they show that they have siffcient evidence to go to trial...(and the bar can be low/high depending on state/country/crime)... then the question of innocence or guilt is one of for a jury/judge. at which point the state presents its case and if the bruden of proof is met, then the accussed can be found guilty.
hearsay (except for dying declarations from a victim etc) is not admissible as evidence which means that the state probably has some compelling evidence albeit circumstancial, that they can proceed with prosecution. i suggest you/accussed get a lawyer.

Unfortunately that is the way they get allot of their info., Intimidation and twisting the truth when they talk to you and other possible witness'/ suspects. For instance they may tell you that so and so said you did such and such to try and get you to admit to it. But I think they need all the tools they can get. If your innocent don't worry about it.

Anyone can have you charged for anything. You then have to defend you innocence. You are not guilty but you are charged with a crime. If a jury finds you guilty. You are guilty....even if you committed no crime. (you have been proven Guilty although you were innocent) If you are a member of congress this does not apply to you. It happens all the time.
