Many innocent people end up in jail. Hence the Innocence Project. Without proof of the set up, then yes, you can go to jail.

YES you can, The national average for D.A.'s getting a conviction is over 98%.
Do you think our system is right that often?
The system is no longer set up for justice, just for profit.
There is a 98% chance you will be found GUILTY!

You need to hope that your lawyer is good enough to cast a shadow of a doubt on the evidence at trial.

Consult a defense lawyer a good one, be honest with cops and tell the truth. If you lie you might dig yourself in a deeper hole. Besides it will help them solve it more quickly and they will take that into consideration.

If there's enough evidence to convince a judge or jury that you're guilty beyond a reasonable doubt -- yes.
