More Sentencing Injustice

Don't know if many have heard of this, but I ran across it lately and I'm still baffled how this could come to be. Well, except in the People's Republic of Massachusetts.

The crux is a relative of the Saudi royal family, Al-Saud, killed a Massachusetts man in a drunk driving incident. Al-Saud has been sentenced to a year in jail and will be imprisoned in a jail on Martha's Vineyard.
It'’s no secret that justice favors the wealthy. Like Al-Saud. Here is a guy who spent his time out on bail earning expensive college degrees while his pricey team of lawyers dug up dirt on his victim.
And when they weren'’t trying to defame the dead man, the lawyers toured jailhouses to find one suitable for the prince, settling on the picturesque surroundings of Martha's Vineyard. Dukes County Sheriff Michael McCormack welcomed Al-Saud on Thursday, explaining that he made the decision to accept the prince because it was MarthaÂ’s VineyardÂ’s duty to keep him safe from all city folks who hate Saudi Arabians.
I'd love to give the Sheriff a swift kick in posterior. Welome the killer? What kind of a dumb-ass is this guy? Justice served here? Not a friggin' chance.
