Sometimes you have to wonder what constitutes crime. People who shoot up campuses, serial killers, child molesters are considered to be the worst of the worst and dealt with severly. As they should. And then there are crimes of the elected. The damage they do is often worse by a factor of tens of thousands but punishment often never comes to pass. And minor infractions can be dealth with out of all proportion to an ordinary citizen.
I guess the point of this is to pose a philisophical question; What exactly is justice and are political crimes always the safest? Does being farther up the ladder mean your odds of paying the piper are proportionately less? Or more? Are the connections and resources that come with status the reason? Or are enemies with resources? And why doesn't every criminal defense lawyer pose those kinds of questions?
