Thanks for persistence in seeking equal application of justice.  I think these kinds of excesses can self-correct if/when there is enough exposure of unfair cases and there isn't something else to distract the public's eye.   But, we need our legislatures and courts to keep up with the ways in which law and its application can drift over time.  That isn't necessarily bad - it could be normal cultural evolution.  But recognizing it and incorporating it into legal structures can be really hard.

We need good investigative reporting by news media, too.  Unfortunately, right now, we are in the middle of a big media battle, which is resulting in a meltdown of an ability to trust any media actually representing what is "fair and balanced."  (Which never applied to Fox News.)   When news becomes a ratings game played by media, then the only news that counts is what tickles the ratings.
