Name one, and I mean name one who got special treatment by the justice system.
I don't think OJ is an example, because being a high profile athlete probably dooms him in the eye of most citizens, and the reason he got off was because he and his lawyer convinced the jury, not because he was an athlete.
And the local kids like Richard McBride, Luther Head, Jabbar battle all seem to have gotten what they deserved from the justice system.
What gets me though, is not any such special treatment by the justice system, but I believe I see special treatment by certain basketball coaches, when kids are troublemakers, criminals, bar fighters, and the like, then they transfer to New Mexico and they become the next Danny Granger.
If they are deep subs, then they are gone from the program. But if they are stars with the potential to float the program, then they are coddled, and welcomed back.
That's the special treatment that I see. How about you?
Here are the links to the four different basketball players from University of Tennessee who have all had multiple drug related arrests and offenses in the past six months, and only the deep sub was dismissed, and the other three were welcomed back.
Nope, it's not the justice system that seems to be so biased, it is the coaches themselves who see only the talent and treat players differently based on the talent.
