How many millionares are there in prison? How many belong there? The legal system isn't for poor saps.Lawyers dont work fpr IOUs. a simple second class felony the fee starts at 5000 before court.A public defender will only plea bargain. a friend of mine had a kid picked up with a bag of "ditch weed" thats commonin northern indiana.It probably had a street value of a buck a pound compared to the mexican good smuggled stuff. It cost over 15000 bucks to get a reduced charge trial.If this kid didn't have parents with cash, probably 5 years in jail. Look at OJ or Blake and that other movie guy with natalie woods.Money BUYS justice, poverty gets you jail time.
