So for $800 they go to prison for 3 years, and for anything over $50,000,000 they get a commuted sentence and parole? That’s generally how it works in the US legal system.
- voakbasda 5y agoI wish this was more of a joke, but this is exactly how the US “justice” system works. You must buy your freedom, or you will suffer a disproportionate and unjust sentence. Remember, they are not courts of “truth” and “justice”; they are Courts of Law.
