So. About that Michael Jackson thing. I was thinking about the verdict today and I wondered about celebrity justice in general. As I'm sure you've noticed, celebrities accused of crimes tend to be found not guilty more often than poor nobodies.
Everybody knows why it works out that way. It's the money. Celebrities can afford to spend lots of money on lawyers. The fancy high-priced legal team then weasels their client out of trouble. Regardless of guilt or innocence, I think we can all agree that if Jackson had a public defender, he'd be on his way to prison today.
So this brings to mind one question. Do rich celebrities pervert justice, or is it that they're the only ones who can afford justice?
