You see, when you are rich you are living the good life. So as a judge would say: Apart from abusing a trusted position, and being wealthy and having privileges far above the norm, so he didn't need corruption top live a more than decent life. But apart from that, and being corrupt despite that. He lived an otherwise good life!!
Yes people have freaking gotten off on such nonsense!!! Except the parts that expose the double standard of course.
These assholes believe that being privileged means they actually deserve MORE privileges. When they should be punished HARDER!. A homeless person struggling to survive, can get years in prison for stealing a snack bar! No mercy for the poor! He can't even afford a decent lawyer, so we can discard him as we please, and not get in trouble for it.
The system is so badly tilted to favor the privileged with more privileges in all aspects of life.
