Teen avoids jail with affluence defense in deadly drunk-driving case | Al Jazeera America:
Yeah, the kid fucked up. However, I hate to see any young kid's life destroyed because of a screw-up when they're sixteen. We all screwed up when we were 16. I don't see how sending this kid to jail for 10 years could help the situation.
The problem here is that if this kid were poor, black or hispanic his ass would have been convicted and locked in jail in no time. Justice isn't blind, it's expensive. Only the affluent can afford it.
