[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 3085147, member: 1132"] Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I always point out that we have a legal system, not a "justice" system. Justice is blind and what we currently have is very much NOT blind. I can tell you for an absolute certainty that if the legal system can see one thing, it's expense reports. All defendants are not equal under the law and a so long as there've been rich and powerful people, we've known that deep down. But what many people don't know is that not all defendants are also not equal because some cost the state far more than others. If you commit a crime and go to jail, but you're unwell and require extensive medical attention? You may wind up costing more than it's worth to keep you incarcerated. They will literally drop charges and kick criminals/severely mentally ill people out of jail, reduce sentences, parole then early, etc. if they cost more to house and treat than the outrage of the public demands. I'm not saying they'd kick someone like Charlie Manson out early because it costs a lot to keep him alive, but if you haven't killed or severely injured anyone, your poor health may be your get out of jail free card. :( [/QUOTE]
