That's a popular view, but I don't think that in real life it's an entirely correct one. At the very least those with money tend to be able to have a fair trial in the US.
I think you'd be facing the choice between a trial with a 500 year prison charge plus millions in damages and lawyer costs or accepting 10 to 15 years in prison avoiding the trial.
I hope you have lots of money to guarantee a fair trial, but anyway, I'd strongly suggest you to never ever travel anywhere near the US for the rest of your life.
