Two sentences, one message

THERE were two interesting court cases in the Irish Examiner on Friday last.

In the first a minor celebrity assisted by “a senior counsel and barrister backed up by a top PR guru” was sentenced to 240 hours community service for child pornography offences.

In the other a youth from Knocknaheeny got one year in jail for stealing a motorbike.

Can anyone in the legal profession convince me that the youth has been treated fairly and equitably by our justice system, and the people who make a living from it?
