Are you trying to say everyone's not treated equally in the US justice system?
I guess that would explain why folks like Jeff Skilling who as part of the Enron scheme bilked countless victims of, likely, billions of dollars. Many of whom lost their entire retirement savings. Is that why a guy like that is sitting in a Federal Correctional Institution in Waseca, Minnesota. A low security prison housing male inmates. A prison that formerly served as a University of Minnesota campus until 1992.
Wonder how many people of color siting in places like Angola for theft of less then $10,000 doing 25 years would trade places with him?
