This is a follow-up from an earlier post about Stuart Peterson’s armed robbery sentencing.  I posted this on December 3 and then was part of a community meeting at the YWCA to discuss our justice system and how it works (and doesn’t work).

In the first two-hour meeting, many were still unsatisfied with the District Attorney Ron Moore’s response to what many feel was a harsh sentence for Peterson in comparison to the firefighter who shot the biker and was sentenced, with a much lesser sentence, on the same day.

A second meeting, which I could not attend, was held on February 19, and David Forbes of the Mountain Xpress does a nice job summarizing the issues and some of the responses to social injustice in our “justice” system.  Read his article here.
