Yet, we put a value on life every day. There are treatments that may save a dying person, but cost tradeoffs are considered. I'd give all the money in the world to save a loved one's life, but in court, it's a different story. Each charge adds up, so a thief can get far more prison time than a killer.

If his crime therefore was being unpopular, who’s next? How long until it gets to me? So, yes, I’ll stand up for a despicable man who’s been judged by prejudice, because a time might come when there’d be no one to stand up for me.
