''One of the main purposes which drives selective prosecution in tax cases is deterrence,'' the judge said, while denying it had anything to do with his sentence. ''In some instances, that means those of celebrity stand greater risk of prosecution. But there's nothing unusual about it, nor is there anything unlawful about it. It's the way the system works.'' I disagree on this whole heartedly.

Your popularity should not decide your sentance. Justice is supposed to be blind and equal, not used as a tool for other goals.
