What does this even mean? Do you mean that the DA for Atlanta--a city which has absolutely no ties to Lewis--gave him special treatment because he is a pro athlete, even though doing so damaged his own career greatly?? If so, you don't understand the mentality or MO of a state prosecutor.
Or are you saying that, if he couldn't afford quality legal counsel, he would've gone down for murder? NOw, this might actually be true. But nobody cries when these white collar criminals have fancy lawyers that get them off major jail time. Apparently, people only have a problem when black guys have fancy lawyers that can give them adequate representation.
