Do you get this proves nothing? She was of privilege and innocent? Privilege people are more likely to be innocent hence she was correctly found to be so....

Do you get this proves nothing?
She was of privilege and innocent?
Privilege people are more likely to be innocent hence she was correctly found to be so.... Could be the thesis proven here???
I think you need to reexamine your logic if you think there's a moral here.
I think you are twisting logic to a cause. I feel it doesn't help.
- nerdponx 10y agoOn violent criminal offenses, sure. On drug charges, I would love to see some data backing up that stereotype because I don't believe it's true for a second. All kinds of rich people do all kinds of drugs. Hell, at Columbia University an entire fraternity was shut down for running an LSD selling ring. My point was not that she turned out to be innocent. My point is that she actually got fair treatment in the US justice system and support from her local police department. The doctrine of "innocent until proven guilty", combined with the equal-protection clause, ought to ensure that all US citizens get those two things. The fact is that if you are non-white, or poor, or heaven forbid both of those things at once, you simply don't have access to those same things. It has nothing to do with probability of guilt, because by law it shouldn't.
