Yes. It's amazing the kind of crap famous people get away with.
It's like "Oh sorry I didn't realize it was you, I love your work by the way. Can I get your autograph and a picture? No one will ever believe this"

No, You may have to go at first,but it can help get you off. For instance OJ Simpson, the jury just could not see their "Idol" as a killer. The prosecution did not help by letting OJ try on a glove that did not fit, due to excessive blood on it, shrank up, and he fact that an extra set of gloves inside of the main glove was there, to protect the evidence. He should have gotten someone with the same size hand as OJ and did the calculations of what the glove size was now, and the fact that extra cotton glove was going to be inside. "If the glove don't fit, then you have to acquit"... Also the judge allowed the race card to be played, just so many mistakes, but I think it was just in his favor due to the jury. Remember also, that you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt,, and the celebrities have the millions of dollars to hire only the best to present the case whereas there is a doubt, for instance Robert Blake.

No they don't have a get out of jail free card at all.. Unless you call haveing the money to fight in court a get out of jail free card.. Remember there are more billionairs then would fit in the forbs 400 richest list.. I don't know 400 plus billionairs or even heard of their names. Have you? But I bet they can buy their way out of about anything or make it go away one way or the other.

Yes, very much so. I think it is outrageous. Local/county departments seems to take it lighter on celebs. Judges are light on sentencing too. Our legal system already has enough issues.
It sucks that if you have enough money--you can get away with ANYTHING and I DO mean ANYTHING.
I think the Fed's are starting to come down on them...thankfully.

Understand this: By making something easier for someone in this life, it is essentially making it harder for you later on. One must understand the spiritual aspect of life in order to appreciate what Ive just said. I don't expect anyone to understand this so I won't take it personal.

YES, they only get a slap on the wrist, which teaches them nothing. Also, if the Public were to shun them for that bad behavior maybe they would wise up. If you have to hurt them where it hurts most------- the Wallet. and if nobody wants to see them they get hurt that way.
