What about in the case of a false accusation of rape or when the wrong person (i.e. not the person who committed the crime but a different person) is inevitably tried and found guilty

People have gone to jail without rape kits being used based entirely on circumstantial evidence (e.g. “you were in the area around the time it happened”). While I would wish the justice system in every country were 100% accurate, it is far too common for the wrong person to be incarcerated to just sentence people to death.
