I don't know who has more money set aside for a lawsuit about a
basketball team --- and that wasn't really my point.
My comment was offensive? That justice is for sale in America? Did you read Midtowner's post? He said:

The city on the other hand seems to have hired a firm which is content to fly by the seat of their pants. I'm wondering if this was a low-bid type job?

That kind of thing costs BIG bucks. In this case it doesn't matter. When a person has been accused of robbery, rape or murder and it's prosecution of the state versus a public defender who doesn't have the funds to do all the things an expensive lawyer could do? What's that called, Kerry? It's called Justice For Sale. If that offends you as an American, why not acknowledge that it happens everyday in this country and try to change it instead of making out like I said something outrageous? Some of you Republicans just think you can
pretend social inequities away.
Sorry.....back to topic.
