Well, heck, they're right!
I wonder where they all were when O.J. Simpson got away with it... I will bet most of them are black and hispanic and that they cheered when O.J. got away with killing a white woman...
Interesting speculation but irrelevant in this case.
We are dealing with the here and now...some of the prisoners who are in for violating probation and drunk driving, should suddenly get horribly sick and freak out, panic, climb the walls, then beg Sheriff Baca to send them home with ankle bracelets. See if "the Paris plea" gets them anywhere. I guarantee you, it won't.
