Nope that was not entirely fair, but unfortunately, based on reality. In real life there have also been loads of people who were smooth-talked or even threatened or blackmailed into criminal deals and had to serve out punishment in jail for it. While the real criminal (in this case Facilier) stays out of the hands of the authorities (now justice did pass in the end when Facilier gets himself claimed by the angry voodoo spirits causing true justice to pass in the end). And criminals in real life also pick their victims on those who are in a desperate situation and in dire need of improvement (as was also the case with Lawrence) and criminals LOVE to exploit that (as Facilier did as well). The problem is that it's easy to say true criminals exploited you, but the point is, the criminals are pretty well skilled in obfuscating the evidence. (And if the voodoo spirits didn't claim him, Facilier would very likely have been able to get away with everything also).
