Double Standard of Courts

It is fairly obvious to anyone of the Double Standards shown in courts across the country.

Federal Prosecutors again are headed to court to try to put Bernard Madoff behind bars for his scheme of some $50 Billion Dollars. Thus far the Judge has ordered him under house arrest in his cozy $7 Million Penthouse.

Authorities say 50-year-old Randy Pratt and 36-year-old Melissa Marie Pratt of Bloomsburg took out all the money, quit their jobs and moved to Florida.

The two were arraigned Tuesday and jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail. District Judge Donna Coombe says a public defender and a conflicts lawyer are being assigned. - FOX News Story

These must be some serious criminals to be jailed and held with $100,000 Bail. No, they are accused of theft. The bank made an error when a deposit was made for $1,772.50 and the bank logged it as 177,250.00. They took the money and moved to Florida.

I can understand that they are much more malicious than Madoff. They planned for the bank to make the error, and then they could take advantage of it. Seriously, what they did was wrong, but who is worse? Madoff set up a scheme to cheat and steal money, much much much more money.
