Sports stars tend to be treat more lightly, this is often down to them having the cash to splash out on a top lawyer..........simples.

Not always the case though ask Ryan Bailey & Chev Walker

For joe public it seems entirely pot luck whether you get a slap on the wrist, community service or 3 yrs in jail. Its a joke!
