Barry Scheck discusses the vast inequalities in sentencing in criminal cases. [Washington Post, you gotta register] Basically, he points out that the punishment doesn't always fit the crime; that some lesser offenses receive the harshest jail terms. He might also have mentioned that sometimes, a man hacks two people to death — like his most famous client did — and gets to go out and play golf. But O.J. aside, Mr. Scheck is doing wonderful work straightening out aberrations of the justice system and freeing the wrongly-convicted, and his piece is worth a read.
