    Good chance the crack dealer is responsible for a few other deaths. And your punishment for the exec seems pretty tame.

    This is getting into #DevilTakes "Making a Murder" territory.

    You idiots have no clue how the system should work.

    Put them in a room with one paring knife, lock the door, and whoever emerges victorious gets the death penalty.

    I don't think the exec would last a year in the mine. The place is unsafe.

    Crack dealer was no saint but he took responsibility.

    More crack dealers should emulate him.

    I have more than a little familiarity with Blankenship. Complete pile of shit, even without taking into account the deaths of those miners.

    Raw, uncut, reality (which you may already know) but criminal justice system is based on resources available to the accused.

    Inequitable? Yes. Imperfect? Ditto. But its the best system created so far.

    Coming up on the next episode of Undercover Boss ...

    Ace, I'm with you. The incongruity is striking. The symbol for justice should be switched from scales to a train engine or something. Equal justice under the law is a pipe dream.
