He might very well deserve to be in jail if he committed crimes, but the process dictates that there is reasonable doubt, so they can't put him there.
He can absolutely be acquitted and still deserve to be in jail. It happens all the time.
The definition of deserve states doing something that is worthy of a particular outcome, not that the outcome must be reached. To argue Jian being undeserving of prison is to argue Jian's definitive innocence.
