A new Associated Press poll has been released in which the public was asked whether they thought the current crop of celebrities facing trial would get a fair trial and whether celebrities face a tougher or more lenient battle in the criminal justice system.
The celebs at issue: Kobe, Michael and Martha.
The answers: More people thought Kobe would get a fair trial. More people thought Martha would be convicted. More blacks than whites thought Kobe and Michael would not get a fair trial. And, not suprisingly, most thought that the rich and famous had a better chance at winning.
How would you have answered?
