Any system made up of human beings is imperfect… but I would adamantly reject the notion that it [the U.S. criminal justice system] is substantially biased against any segment of our society.

Money matters in this country. And it’s not so much dictated by the color of your skin but the resources and the money that you have to put on a good defense.

“I blame the system… we all have our biases but if we don’t have anything in place that protects us from our own biases then we just really have a system running amuck.”
