How much do you believe that the American criminal justice system treats everyone fairly, regardless of their wealth, social status or race? If you’re not a big believer that everyone gets equal treatment under the law these days, you aren’t alone. In particular, if you think that the rich and famous get better treatment than the poor and anonymous, you’re definitely not alone. Even worse, you may be right.
