The justice system is supposed to apply to all.



Well it seemingly didn't apply to the guy who seems to have escaped 20+ convictions by... intimidating witnesses? Frankly bizarre.


Just looking at the 20+ number and without further context, we can't say whether he was falsely accused escaped the convictions because the justice system worked for once, or whether he was correctly accused, and escaped the convictions because the justice system had false negatives.

(Looking at the rest of the Wikipedia entry, I am very sympathetic to the latter point of view.)
