Reply to comment by [deleted] in Husband of missing Cohasset woman charged with misleading police investigation – Boston News, Weather, Sports by tiny-starship

I mean it's certainly better to be rich in basically every facet of life, but Massachusetts is absolutely full of poor people who have been charged with dozens of fairly serious crimes and had the charges dropped dismissed for the flimsiest of reasons.

Agreed, but rich people get away with way more, and that is more of a problem to me.

I would have to say that this is something that sounds true and is easy to believe but without some sort of rigorous academic study we're both just stating opinions. Mine is informed by being a police officer who deals with criminals and the courts and looks at criminal histories every day but of course it is still only an informed opinion.

Yeah and me being a blue collar chick having worked about rich people doing twisted shit (see the cohassett case from this week) rich people get away with way more elaborate shit that has a wider societal impact that joe blow who does a lot of coke and drinks a lot.
