The fact I picked the 3 most famous cases of people the general public thought was overwhelmingly guilty only to be acquitted, and that they are all American, doesn't mean people who appear guilty in Canada are automatically convicted.
Believe it or not that happens in Canada too. It just so happens that the most infamous cases are American. Probably because they tend to sensationalize everything. But its not some American dominant thing, it can happen in any country where there's a jury and the burden of proof is on the prosecution.
