Sucks, doesnt it?
Its exactly why people like Trump have been able to get away with their criminal lives.

... the woman was white and a judge took back the years against Noor.
The judge crying while talking about Potter was disgusting, she could've kept that.
She was dead on until then

made the ridiculous argument that this was not as bad as Chauvin. Sure, but nobody was suggesting she serve 22.5 years either.
