If Trey Radel had been black or hispanic would of he got off so easy?
I had a white friend like Radel with no priors caught with cocaine that received the same treatment. A black co-worker also with no priors received 6 months in jail, 3 years probation and a $1000 fine for buying a few grams of cocaine. He got out after two months in jail, but still he received jail time while my friend got off easy.
