"I worry more about poor people being put to death"

So we will set income guide lines that allow for convictions of only people above the median income.

How much you want to bet that in 3 years you'll never leave your house from fear of being murdered.

Poor people are not bad -- in fact I was born in a cold water flat on the wrong side of town (no white liberal guilt here) -- criminals' income doesn't make a criminal -- lifestyle choices -- lead to criminality.

I wasn't implying that poor people are bad. We grew up in the City poor section too. Hell we didn't have an indoor toilet yet. (everyone else did)
I guess I'm not very good at explaining what I mean. I'm refering to cases like OJs ,and there are others out there.Money does talk. With all his money OJs a bad person. your right, money (or lack of it) doesn't make you a bad person. the act of murder does.
However you have a better chance of getting off the hook so to speak if you are rich and can afford the best lawyers to defend you.
I wonder just how many people get off because they had the money to hire the best of Attorneys. thats what makes the difference.(and how many didn't get off because they didn't)
have the means to hire a great Attorney
