You claim that the rich can buy lawyers and get off the hook. But then they weren't really guilty if the courts say they are innocent are they?
Please go back and read the link in my previous-previous post, concerning convicted felons who can, in many states, get their voting rights returned to them if they can get a personal pardon from the governor or can get an legislative act for that specific purpose through the state legislature.
The courts have said they are guilty. But the people who have the money or influence to get this done get to vote anyway. If you're a felon, you go to jail. If you're a poor felon, you pay for it for the rest of your life.
This country is all about second chances. Except to you.
