“If Alec doesn’t get a prison sentence, the problem is with that court system.”
He has to first be charged, and then indicted before the court system even comes into play. And he will not be charged, and he won’t be indicted, so he has no worry about a prison sentence.
Even so, the fact that one miscreant gets away with something because of a rigged system does not excuse other people getting away with something.
Bad is objectively bad.
