I won't necessarily agree that it's ALL about conviction rates. But at trial, it certainly isn't all about truth either. The adversarial system is about winning. Prosecutors and defense attorneys often hide and suppress the truth in order to win. They argue all the time with judges to suppress key evidence that would be damning to their side of the argument, regardless of whether or not that evidence was true and factual. For this reason, IMHO, many innocents get convicted and many guilty go free.
