The problem is that there is no consistency when it comes to our justice system. The only reason that the evidence was ruled inadmissible is because an attorney was good enough to make the case. For every CEO there are hundreds of poor people of color who are unfairly discriminated against and have no recourse available.

FWIW, this CEO happens to be a (rich) person of color. In our society, color is a handicap, but, if you do manage to get money... boy, oh boy, is money an aid.

I remember my first words as a newly born white baby: "...lawyer". Shortly after, a pigeon swooped into my bedroom and dropped a pair of keys into my crib with a note attached reading "This is the key to your safety deposit box where you will find estate papers along with a second set of keys that belong to a 110ft Schooner, welcome to the club lad."
