The Judge from this case is a Republican.

Lawyers are trying to see if something can be done. Chris Cuomo thinks this won't be successful for issues including the risk of double jeopardy. Sunny Hostin thinks it could be successful.

Many of the urban areas with large numbers of minorities going to jail have black mayors, black DAs, and black police chiefs. Who is holding you down?

Dumbasses like you who think Black mayor, Black DA, Black police chief, or Black President means instant reversal of generations of unintentional and intentional sociopolitical discrepancies.

Most of the urban areas are run by blacks. In some of those cities the black politicians have proposed stop and frisk laws.

People who think "racial profiling" means only whites are the racial profilers are as dumb as people who think "gender wage gap" means only men are the ones gender wage gapping.

I just came across this on Buzzfeed. So sad.

http://www.buzzfeed.com/tasneemnashr...million-to-par

Quote:
The family of a Texas teen who killed four people and injured 12 others in a drunk driving accident last year, agreed to pay more than $2 million to the family of 16-year-old paralyzed victim, Sergio E. Molina.

Molina landed on his head after being thrown out of the pickup truck driven by then-16-year-old Ethan Couch who hit a stranded motorist, killing her and three others who had stopped to help her. Molina was paralyzed and has been in hospital since the accident in June.

$2MM seems light for the injuries sustained by the victim. I'd have more faith in a jury.

ETA: It is Texas though.. are juries stingy in Texas?
