A Harvard Law School graduate has admitted setting a fire at a temporary New York City repository for Sept. 11 victims' remains. But he says he was too drunk to remember much about the blaze or explain his behavior.Brian Schroeder apologized as he pleaded guilty Wednesday to arson and all the other charges against him in the Halloween 2009 fire. Over prosecutors' objections, a judge set the case on course for Schroeder to avoid any jail time when sentenced next year.
This dumbass caused $67,000 in damage and all he gets is a lousy 100 hours of community service. That's an entire year's salary for most people, and he can work it off in 2 weeks. What a joke! If a random 19 year old did this, he'd be in jail with the rest of the felons.
That's justice for you.
*Can you pay us the tuition? Do you LSAT/GPA help us out? Yes? You pass character and fitness!
Edit: while looking for the judges' email address, I found this is actually a month or two old. I'm leaving it anyway, as it's still egregious, ridiculous, and a microcosm of much of what's wrong with the justice system.
Wtf? What evidence do you have that he passed the character and fitness review after he was found guilty here? The article says he lost his law firm job.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand what point you're making here. Why are you saying that Harvard missed this incident when evaluating him? It clearly happened last year after he had already graduated from harvard law. Seriously are you just drunk?
For God sakes, are you serious? I never claimed he passed the character and fitness after being found guilty after graduating law school, or that Harvard missed this particular incident. I'm saying nothing of the kind, only commenting generally on the irrelevant, inadequate, and incongruous nature of the character and fitness process as a whole.
