If you were accused but were innocent ...

Um the OP was talking about famous people with wealth. If you are not wealthy, even if middle class, and can hire a lawyer, even then, your resources run out quickly. If you are dirt poor and the state assigns you a public defender, it isn't that they don't want to help you, it is because our nation doesn't fund enough or have enough to give you an effective defense. In fact there was a story in Louisiana where public defenders went on strike for that reason. 

It is the same complaint most public school teachers have about class size. You cant mount an effective defense if you cant spend the time on that particular case. Just like bigger classes in a public school does not give the teacher the time to give each individual kid the attention they need. So most public defenders are stuck with trying to get you to plead out to spare you from the most severe punishment if you were to take it to trial. Lots of innocent people do that for that reason.
