One's experience in the criminal justice system in this country depends on your race, gender, class, and wealth. The poor can't afford good lawyers nor do they have the resources to elect sympathetic judges and politicians. For example, there are no homeless people in Scandinavia solely because they are poor. They support public housing that American conservatives want to destroy here. You know, they have no desire to protect the "takers". All lives do not matter in this country and that includes virtually all poor people. The most important thing about the O.J. Simpson trial was that he was the first black man that had enough money to hire the lawyers to get him out of a murder charge. White men with influence and wealth have been doing that ever since the founding of the nation.
