I agree...the key is equal treatment. The rich will always have the advantage of being able to afford better lawyers with more resources (think OJ) and if the case is plastered all over the news, good lawyers will work for free...don't know how to get around that but it's not the judge's role to "punish" or "set examples" based on socio-economic status or race.
