Fuck this bullshit narrative. You and OP are both(from the title) saying that this outcome is racist. This is classist you goyim. The more money you throw at a jury, the better the outcome. Did you see if your non-rich guy had his own team of attorney's? OJ proved my theory exactly. Our legal system is fucked, in case you missed that lesson from Poal. I agree in a theoretical "even" world they both would have similar sentences. I still think judges should have some leniency in sentencing for certain things, like public shaming that they don't seem to do anymore.
