If Roger doesn't apply to them, why should James? Or anyone? At least when James disrespects the rules he's not being a walking, talking Hypocrite.

I'm not saying it's right or fair. But it's reality. Act an ass in front of a judge and see what happens at sentencing. Take the same crime, same conviction, same rap-sheet with a guy who is respectful, remorseful, and charismatic... It is what it is. I've found myself doing it here if I'm being completely honest. It's human nature and most figures of authority feel that the remorseful guy stands the best chance of keeping his nose clean the second time around.
