It's like saying we should get rid of laws against murder since if you are OJ Simpson you can hire fancy lawyers and get away with it.

No, it's like saying we should get rid of laws against murder because those laws are observed to make murder more common. (Well, except that I don't think that observation is actually correct for laws against murder.)
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoDidn't they have to reduce the penalties for certain crimes because once you're already facing a certain death penalty you've no reason to not kill (more) people if that helps you escape identification/capture/arrest? That is, a law designed to incentivize you to not kill people, had the opposite effect in some circumstances. Googling doesn't turn up anything for me, but it's a closer analogy anyway.
