Different consequences if you aren’t poor

This came to me via email with the request that I post it:

Typical El Paso justice.

The disgraced former EPISD Superintendent now known as inmate Garcia gets a one year reduction in his already light sentence for completing a drug class. Our idiot federal judge was shocked by this. Here is a bit of advice from the non J.D. crowd to our local judicial hacks. Sentence them as if they were poor minorities. That way a one year reduction isnt so bad. 

I am left to wonder if INMATE Garcia had to have a drug problem in order to qualify for this program. If so, has the federal judge ever heard of a probation report? Garcia was out on probation for a time, was he a known drug user? If so, why was he let out in the first place? If he never had a drug problem then why does he get credit for completing a program that fails to address his problems?

Lesson to all.

If you want justice in El Paso, do it yourself. The legal system here is not going to fight for justice in the names of the poor and disenfranchised.

    Class, today’s less is: crime pays. Garcia was only required to pay $180,000 in restitution and a fine of about $50,000. Given his high salary and bonuses and the money he stole through the scam he ran with his gal pal, he still has plenty of money to spend when he is released. After all, we paid for his room and board for the past couple of years, so he should have plenty saved up.

    Garcia’s sentence and fine were ridiculously low given that his crimes included financial fraud, fraud against the government, and crimes against kids, whose futures have been irreparably harmed. I’ve seen kids get longer sentences for far less serious offenses.

    So yes, crime does pay. Garcia might do well to keep an eye on the rear view mirror. One or more of the kids he deprived of an education might well be looking for what Brownfield describes as do-it-yourself justice. Unfortunately, if caught, they will serve far more time than Garcia.

    Too bad the EPISD board that enabled this isn’t in there with him.
