Do ya believe there are two different standards of justice, one for the rich, powerful who are represented by well connected, highly qualified legal teams and different standard for Joe Sixpack with little or no dollars and a public defender?
Of course. Affluent people can afford better lawyers just like they can afford nicer cars, bigger houses, better colleges and all the other trappings that go with wealth. That’s the way the world has always worked and it’s not exactly breaking news. But in this case Conner got the same deal any other first offender would have gotten under similar circumstances, even if they had a public defender.
