While I am sure this is not an absolute, but I would say it's true more times than not in whatever example you're citing. Hence O.J.. If you pay for legal representation, you tend to buy yourself a better brand of "justice". This is how the system works.
It's not about race. It's about socio-economic class. Welcome to the U.S.A..

very true..
a friend of my families just spent $150,000 to defend his son who killed a woman while drunk driving.. she had just got engaged and fiance and his friend were in the front seat and she was in the back seat with no seat belt.. the kid rear ended them causing their car to flip and the girl was ejected and died at the scene..
his son got 1 year in county jail and 2 years house arrest and 5 years probabtion and thats it.. he was 2.5 times legal limit and speeding..
if that was my fiance and her killer got off like that, i would kill that kid myself..
but on the flip side, would i do everything in my power to keep my kid out of jail?
