Still Searching For Equality In The Justice System

Lindsay Lohan* spent just 80 minutes in jail for her DUI and minor cocaine charges, but Mike Tyson just did his entire 24 hour bid in an Arizona jail for similar charges. He suffered through it by reading American Gansta and eating Sloppy Joes. What a soldier! I say we march to the Arizona Department of Justice and demand answers. [TMZ]

*For the sake of the joke, forget about Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton’s sentences. It’s the day before Thanksgiving.

Not to defend LL, who should have had the book thrown at her, but Tyson is already a convicted felon who’s already done prison time. I don’t believe race came into play here.

btw, love the blog! Have a great holiday.

Uh, the more obvious reason is that AZ probably has less of a crowding problem. Nicole is African-American and Latina. I think she spent the least amount of time in jail. I think Lilo actually saw a jail cell while Nicole was still being processed when she was released.

And seriously, a DAY in prison for a black man with a record in AZ with coke on him? That is a f-ing joke of a sentence.
