What are your thoughts on celebrities and legal punishments?
Rebecca W asked:
Yes, this is mostly related to the recent Paris escapade ,but I’m trying to look at this from a wider angle. Most celebrities get lighter penalties than average Joes. What do you think of the justification of this treatment. As in, why are some people apt to believe they really shouldn’t be punished, aside from them maybe being a fan of the person.
I’m sure average joes get pretty sweet deals when they have either a good lawyer or a solid case ,but I mean people who actually did something wrong and deserve the maximum punishment.
Manifree(can’t read the rest) actually makes a sound point ,but this could be argued in the sense that any punishment could be made to be rewarding to society. If they made people who stole things work in soup kitchens would it not be helpful to society? I’m just making the point that just because a person is talented or famous otherwise it shouldn’t make them immune to the law.
The only thing that really made me mad is the reasoning for why she shouldn’t be punished saying that she provides entertainment and excitement to the world. If that’s the case I guess anyone who contributes anything shouldn’t be punished.

I’ve worked in the field for almost 7 years.

As justice is supposed to be blind, perhaps this would be a novel and good thing to try:
having the defendant’s identity hidden until after the verdict. Names need not be mentioned, nor addresses, etc..
This would go a long way toward ending favoritism.
