Just read the headlines in the Herald on the lawyer in North Jer

Lower Township - Just read the headlines in the Herald on the lawyer in North Jersey who was given a four-year sentence for his part in the mortgage fraud case that involved bilking the taxpayers of millions of dollars. We have a local lawyer whose circumstances were similar but was not given any jail time. Why the difference with one lawyer vs. another? In one case, fraudulent behavior is dealt with one way and in the local lawyer's case, relatively nothing happened for his involvement. These are the things that make all Americans suspicious of a system that states that justice is blind.
