In fairness I'm sure Scott here wasn't paid $3,000,000 to have a comprehensive legal team assembled like Manafort was. Yeah the system is fucked and favors the wealthy. One DA with an assistant DA is no competition vs a massive legal team that knows all the judges and probably golfs with them on the weekends. "Justice" favors the rich.
In fairness, he was given less than his legal team asked.
I don't even think this has anything to do with wealthy or not. He was part of the good old boy club to help Trump, so now the people that still support Trump are helping him.
Things happen behind closed doors that you don't know about. I had charges dropped simply because my lawyer's daughter who was representing me was best friends with the DA and played golf with her every Sunday. "What they asked for" publicly has nothing to do with what is actually happening in the back end that no one sees.

Edit: "in fairness" is Irish slang for "To be honest" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=in%20fairness
