Look at Matthew Broderick for example....in 1987 he and Ferris Bueller co-star Jennifer Grey were in a car wreck (Broderick was driving) which killed 2 people. They were first charged with "death by dangerous driving" and faced prison time (5 years) but then were later convicted of lesser charges and fined $175.00.

Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil had a similar accident

Halle Berry was in a hit and run and didn't really get nailed for anything. Brandy Norwood (the singer) killed someone and didn't get jail time. Donte Stallworth, Leonard Little, etc have killed people in driving accidents and not gone to jail.


Some people get off, some people don't....the justice system isn't perfect, but it's better than some other systems
