You apprenetly assume a different result is an inequity. You also assume the only distinction between cases is a different judge. This is a faulty assumption, as each case is highly unique. When you use the term inequity do you mean in an absolute sense or in a legal sense within our system?

An absolute sense. I call how something may turn out being based on the luck of the draw as an inequity.

I am pretty darn sure a poor guy getting picked up on a DUI charge for instance stands a much better chance of getting convicted than a rich guy who can afford an expensive attorney.

Maybe that isn't an inequity in the legal system though because the rich guy should get a better legal outcome just like he should get a better house.
