Three cases. The same justice system. Three completely different answers — and once you see them side by side, you can't unsee the pattern. A sixteen-year-old is charged in the death of his eighteen-year-old stepsister, Anna Kepner, aboard a family cruise. A federal judge says an adult would be jailed — then lets him walk out of court anyway, back to a home where two kids reportedly live. Meanwhile, in the Dan Markel murder case, five people are in prison, but the two people the state has named in open court as co-conspirators — Wendi Adelson and her father Harvey — still haven't been charged. And in the Sandra Birchmore case, the system finally swung hard the other way: the state erased suicide from her death certificate, and a judge denied the accused former officer bail, writing that the evidence is very strong, if not overwhelming. One accused walks. Two named names stay free. One stays locked up. Why does the law cage some people and let others stroll out the front door? We brought in a defense attorney and former prosecutor to take on all three at once — the role age plays, the role evidence plays, the role of a family that simply refused to quit — and to answer the question sitting underneath every one of these stories. His pick for who's most likely to walk away clean might surprise you.
