The Law Is The Law Fair And Balanced for all ?

watched this on the news, two different stories, two different people doing the same thing, stealing from Ky taxpayers. a woman stole 20 thousand from two families, both were veterans and Ky taxpayers. she got 25 years in prison for what she did.

Woman Convicted Of Stealing Thousands From Disabled Vets Sentenced To 25 Years

A central Kentucky woman convicted of stealing from two disabled veterans received maximum jail time from a judge on Friday.
Cammie Henson, the once trusted cleaning lady turned friend and caregiver who "cleaned out" blind Korean war vet Jack Browning's bank account to the tune of $20,000, was sentenced to a maximum of 25 years in prison for two counts of knowingly exploiting an adult.
Henson also ripped off Jack Browning, Jr., a disabled vet who was also under her care at the time.
When Henson stole from the Brownings, she was on probation and paying back money she stole from a Shelby County Church Daycare where she once worked.
The Browning's family members feel betrayed on many levels, but are glad the judge didn't lower Henson's punishment.
"No remorse, no nothing. I trusted her. She was a trusted friend until she blasted that trust right out of the water on me," said Gina Browning.
Henson got a 25 year sentence, but she'll be eligible for parole in 5 years.




the other thief was a man, he stole 450,000.00 from Ky taxpayers. and a lot of veterans were in this group of tax payers as well as everyone else in KY. and he got 27 months for what he did. this don't sound like The Law is The Law, it sounds more like there is The Law and then there is the law for Politicians.


LEXINGTON, KY. — Richie Farmer, a beloved Kentucky basketball hero who rode his fame to statewide office, now faces a possible prison sentence after a federal indictment released Monday charged him with misusing $450,000 in taxpayer funds while he was state agriculture commissioner.
A federal grand jury indicted Farmer on four counts of misappropriating funds from the Department of Agriculture and one count of soliciting property in exchange for influencing department actions — with each of the counts carrying up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
U.S. Attorney Kerry B. Harvey of Lexington said the indictment alleges that Farmer “misused public funds for his own benefit and repeatedly abused the authority entrusted to him by the people of Kentucky.”



The Law is The Law, or is it ?

I learned long ago that the law is a living thing. Law makers, lawyers and judges interpret laws differently all the time and folks with money, fame or political connections get treated different....it's just a fact. Politicians are crooks and they are above the law they the rest of us are held to.

Years ago my wife hired a nurse to care for her mother who was bed ridden with Alzhimers to stay with her at our house while we took a week's vacation in Orlando. When we returned from our trip we discovered that she had gotten our credit card info and some of our blank checks from our house and went on a spending spree to the tune of about 20,000 dollars. Of course we pressed charges and the state prosecuted her. When it came time for sentencing, the state prosecutor told me he was going to ask for probation for the nurse. I threw a fit as I wanted her in jail. She got probation. Of course she was young, blonde, built like a brick crap house..I guess the nurse that got 25 years was old and ugly.

Life is definitely not meant to be fair. And we wouldn't want it to be either.

Yeah for sure....if it was fair the politicians in DC would not be raping the benefits of thousands of us veterans to give the money to folks that won't work and/or are not citizens of the country we dedicated most of our lives to.

It is obvious this administration does not like the military Obama even wanted them to pay for their own insurance. No matter what you think do Rush he has a great point if you give the illegals amnesty make it where they can't vote for 25 years and you will find out that the politicians won't be interested in showering them with all the entitlements. They probably would have them deported if they can't vote.

Well, in addition to the fact that the first woman was sentenced harsher because of repeat violator statsus, it turns out 27 months was the MAXIMUM sentence, that Farmer could have received. So he got the maximum, and the other lady didn't. Maybe they were harder on Richie because he was famous?

getting 27 months for stealing 1/2 Million dollars, now thats some good money for a thief. I can see why there are so many big time thieves out there.

I think it was light myself, I was only pointing out the differences in the law at sentencing. Your premise was that Farmer was getting off easy because he played basketball at UK, but turns out that is not the case. The lady in your first example was already a convicted felon on probation for the same crime and was sentenced accordingly, Farmer was given the maximum sentence he could receive.

Man, that STINKS........really STINKS.

I think the law tries to be fair, but unfortunately, in our system, MONEY TALKS. You can be guilty as hell but have a stellar lawyer, and get off scott free.

I still think the law puts most folks away when necessary, but quite a few slip through.

Same thing happened to me and a series of break ins in my neighborhood. My outside camera caught a douche bag breaking into both of my neighbors, and THEN my house. When the cops caught the douchebag and his girlfriend, they gave them probation, even though they did thousands of dollars in damage to my home, and took tens of thousands of dollars worth of ****.

I wanted to track them down and deliver GEO Justice, but was reminded countless times that I'd go to prison for life for a bunch of ****.

SAD...........Karma caught up with the dude a few years ago, when he was shot and killed in shepardsville breaking into the home of someone who caught them in the act.

Later,

Hey George, how is this for weird coincidence? I watched that kid you are talking about grow up. he lived across the street from me for the nine years I lived in Louisville. He was in trouble from the time I can remember. I remember him getting sent away when he was around 10-years-old. He is living proof that some people are just plain bad. He didn't grow up in a bad home, his mom and step dad worked all the time to provide. He has an older sister that has a college degree. That kid was just bad and he met with a bad ending.
