    I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. They didn’t just let Penny go, did they? He had to stand trial like anyone else.

      Sincere question, do you honestly believe the police devote the same resources to catching a killer when a peasant is murdered vs what they did for CEO Brian Thompson?

        As far I understand it, Penny turned himself in so I suppose he saved them a lot of time and effort, but they still spent all the money required to bring him to trial, right? State attorneys and judges cost money, too. If they were blatantly racist they could have just let him go with no charges, would have saved them a lot of dough.
