I've been thinking about that too. In Virginia we had a long-time sheriff who was a homosexual and for most of his office, homosexual acts were serious felonies. He'd also been brought up on charges of kidnapping and some kind of attempted sodomy - while in office - but to deal with this they moved the trial to a rural town with an all white jury who would see the nonwhite victim in a predictable way. So much for equally applicable protection of and liability to the laws. Political patronage trumped the rule of law here.
