Two justice systems?

High school girls beat up another girl - their bonds are $30,000 to $37,000.

An NFL player knocks an innocent man unconscious with one punch, flees the scene, then lies to the police - his bond is $1,000.

From the Sun-Sentinel.com:

“[Miami] Dolphins fullback Reagan Mauia was arrested in Weston [FL] early Friday on simple battery charges.....The police report states Mauia approached a man and his girlfriend in the parking lot just before midnight.....Mauia asked the man, Michael Gianatassio, 27, “what the [expletive] he was looking at,” the report states.....All of a sudden, Mauia punched Gianatassio in the face with a closed fist.....The victim was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground, while Mauia drove away in a black Cadillac Escalade.....A witness used a cell phone to take a picture of the license plate and deputies tracked down Mauia at the address.....Once confronted, Mauia denied being at the sports bar, officials said.....Mauia, 23, was bonded out for $1,000 at 10:31 a.m. and faces a first-degree misdemeanor.”

First degree misdemeanor -vs- multiple felonies. Plus I don't think the guy is much of a flight risk, considering the nature of his job and the nature of the charges.
