The kid hasn't even been formally charged yet, much less gone to trial or been convicted, so your statement is meaningless at best. > Enron executives lie/cheat/steal, governments > execute/murder/overthrow, Martha Stewart intentionally > swindles stock holders out of mucho ca$h and none of these > people have received the punishment that they all deserve. Neither the Enron execs nor Martha Stewart have been to trial yet, so how can you even say this? > The sad truth is that money talks.
