7. Who’s Law, Who’s Justice?
Given the currently disparity in racial sentencing it does not surprise me that the federal prosecutors so fervently demanded that Wesley Snipes be given such a severe sentence for his complicity in tax evasion. I wonder how well those same zealous prosecutors would
sleep at night if they were to take into account the following report?

__________________________________________________________________________

Dear Editors at The Arizona Daily Star and the Tucson Citizen,

In my native state of Maryland my sister fell prey to the mandatory crack sentences laws. By assisting her friend, a low level local apartment complex dealer, in his attempt to stash and flush his dope before the cops busted the door down; she received a mandatory ten year crack cocaine possession sentence of which she did eight years.

This was eight years that her young son (then only three) had to grow up separated from his mother and raised instead by his grandmother.

Now I am sure the corpse stashing couple involved in the article below didn't have the type of money and access that OJ had to buy himself off from a murder charge. So I am lead to wonder how and why.

After you have read the article I would hope that you good folks (especially those of you
who think that here in 2008 that everything is now so fair, just and just peachy clean) think must have contributed to them receiving such a light sentencing.


AND JUSTICE FOR ALL

Tucson Region Man gets probation for dumping body in shaft

A former Arivaca resident was sentenced to three years' probation Monday for dumping his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend down a mine shaft after she shot him to death with an AK-47.
Tommie Joe Holliday, 54, pleaded guilty to attempted concealment or abandonment of a human body in the November 2005 death of Bobby Lee Gatlin, 46.
Holliday could have been sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison, but Pima County Superior Court Judge Hector Campoy placed him on probation.
Pima County Sheriff's deputies began hearing rumors in October 2006 that Gatlin had been murdered in November 2005 and thrown down a mine shaft, according to court documents.
On June 1, 2007, detectives found Gatlin's body 15 feet underground, wrapped in a tarp, blankets and sleeping bag. An autopsy showed he'd been shot several times.
Stephanie Lynn Bartlett, 41, Holliday and Stacey Leigh Sharp were arrested when Bartlett and Sharp made incriminating statements.
Court documents indicate Bartlett was involved in an on-again, off-again relationship with Gatlin. For several years, they had been living in makeshift camps outside Arivaca with Bartlett 's three teenage sons and other homeless people.
Bartlett told authorities she killed Gatlin after he came after her with an ax and threatened to kill her and her children.
Holliday and Sharp, who is Bartlett 's sister, helped dump Gatlin's body in the mine shaft the next day.
Bartlett was sentenced to five years' probation and 365 days in jail in February after pleading guilty to manslaughter. She was given 248 days credit for the time she'd already served.
On Monday, Campoy told Holliday he is not to have contact with Bartlett once she is released without first getting permission from probation officers.
Sharp also pleaded guilty to attempted concealment or abandonment of a human body and is awaiting sentencing.
