PantyFanatic,

It is all too true that Law ≤ Justice. Justice has the luxury of being abstract. Law is limited by reality.

If you’ll agree that a defendant is innocent until proved guilty, then examining the details of the case is in the best interests of justice. Can there be extenuating circumstances which should be considered? If so, what might they be? How can a defendant’s extenuating circumstances in a case be considered independently of the defendant?

It may be an uninspired point of view, but I suspect that these outcomes have more to do with money than celebrity. Most celebrities are wealthy and can afford more and better legal support than mere mortals such as us.
