‘NewsOne Now’ Panel: Being White and Wealthy Means Not Going To Jail
A Delaware judge sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation for raping his 3-year-old daughter. Judge Jan Jurden noted in her order that Robert H. Richards IV “will not fare well” in prison and needed treatment instead of time behind bars. Roland Martin and the “NewsOne Now” panel came down hard on the judge and Richards in a segment Tuesday, calling the sentence another case of “affluenza.” Listen below to the full conversation about the case.
Be sure to listen to “NewsOne Now” with Roland Martin, weekdays at 7 a.m. EST and watch at 9 a.m. EST on TV One.
