It really makes me mad that the rich can get away with anything simply because of how much money they have. After that teenager killed four people from drunk driving they sent him to a comfy rehab because he was to rich to know better. Well now a man who raped his three year old daughter will not be going to jail because he would not fare well in there. He was also very wealthy. They want him to get treatment which I think if you could do that to your own daughter you deserve to be beaten and much more. I don't get why we put people away for petty crimes but this they just don't care. It has been known that some rapists turn into serial killers. They have a sick mind and the justice system saying let him go free he has money is disgusting. He raped his own child and how much longer will it take before it happens to another kid who can't fight back. Should we teach victims when your attacked don't bother because if your attacker has money that's all that matters? Children and rape victims should be protected everywhere I don't care how much money you have the justice system is a disgrace.

There's definitely some truth to that. When you have some clout you don't always have to pay the ramifications that the rest of us do. Some of the things Justin Bieber has done would get a less successful performer in a position where they may not get bookings or have trouble getting producers but that isn't happening because his name and reputation holds a lot of water. His legal repercussions are kind of being swept under the rug too.
When I was in Southern League baseball some guys were let go or even blacklisted for drug use. I'm not saying that wasn't ok for them to be, but if the same things involved a good major leaguer it might not reach the media. And if it does there's a short-term suspension and some rehabilitation.
Daryl Strawberry was om drug charges numerous times, so have been many others, Steve Howe, Darrell Porter, the list is long. In AA you get caught if you don't have almost a sure major league future baseball for a job becomes your past.
If I ever got caught with steroids I'd have been finished. I simply wasn't good enough to get away with that. And on a AA level I was pretty good. But I was never going any higher so not walking the line would have meant not playing ball. Some guys in AA lost their jobs for being caught with corked bats. Once again not so if they had a good chance of going higher. It does come down to the set value of the person and its about the money. Those who can afford high clout lawyers get out of trouble faster and more easy than the rest of us. Obviously if you're someone who has a future your agents, promoters and those who are relying on you to be their go to guy will put the money up for fines and legal fees to make sure they have you around.

exactly if someone like me broke the law I wouldn't get away with it. But this guy I also found out on the young turks video on youtube he molested his son along with raping his daughter. instead of protecting the victims they are protecting the rapist because he is a heir to some fortune and he has a lot of money. Jail is not supposed to be a nice place you broke the law you need to be put away especially for rape. I don't know how the woman which is his ex-wife and even protect her children the courts did nothing.

If the rest of us did what congressional people do in their everyday happenings we would be imprisoned. To them its just business but to the rest of us its tax evasion, and criminal action. Most of what they do gets swept under the rug. If it makes radio or tv it was excessive or just the right ears caught it. I'd bet anything that most of the time we don't even hear about it when celebrities do something wrong.

Congress people are among the most notorious for that. So are athletes. Yes I have a bias there being an ex ball player but I still have to admit they look the other way at times for athletes.
Schools pad grades for athletic students too. Colleges and high schools are both guilty of that.
