The law should be for everybody. When I was younger and naïve used to think the legal system was fair to everyone. I like what this guy had to say in comments, quote: “Good. I am glad that the two-tiered justice system that is American jurisprudence is finally laid out so openly for all to see. A few hundred more cases like this and Americans may start to understand that until we can purge consideration of the net worth of both the accused and the victims from the process, there is no such thing as justice in America."

He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a fatal crash and two counts of vehicular homicide. He could have received 45 years for the deaths, but instead he will Now here is the really great part: LeVin was on probation in Illinois for a 2006 case in which he had driven into a Chicago police officer and instigated a chase on the Kennedy Expressway. He has more than 50 traffic violations and a long history of drug abuse. http://jonathanturley.org/2011/06/07/checkbook-justice-wealthy-chicago-man-kills-two-brits-with-porsche-leaves-scene-lies-to-police-falsely-accuses-a-friend-and-is-allowed-to-avoid-jail-after-writing-a-check-to-the-victims/ Ryan Levin [image]local://upfiles/392475/F436583A29D24E0A9445FC76930F8CB9.jpg[/image]

A better part of the story... "All his actions should have earned him greater punishment, not lesser punishment … What was Judge McCarthy thinking?" Finkelstein said. I wish I could tell you, but I didn't hear back from the judge after leaving a message on Monday. Not that judicial protocol would allow her to comment on the case. As long as LeVin adheres to his conditions, the sentence can't be revisited. Perhaps the best chance at justice will come from Illinois, where LeVin might have to serve some time behind bars for violating the terms of his parole from his 2006 case. But it won't be much, perhaps six months or less. "There is no recourse," Finkelstein said, "other than to make sure the judge isn't re-elected." McCarthy was elected to a six-year term in 2010. Her deputy campaign treasurer? David Bogenschutz. http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2011-06-06/news/fl-levin-sentence-mayocol-b060711-20110606_1_house-arrest-dui-manslaughter-case-kenneth-watkinson

Brain, you need a hobby. If it isn't to cold up there in Canada, go lay by a pool, have a couple of cocktails and relax.
