Justice Is Just an Emotional Feeling: Judge Sabo's 1995-97 Kangaroo Court

Who ever said no one could get a fair trial in Judge Sabo’s courtroom? It all just depended on who the victim and who the defendant was. You’d just better not be accused of having murdered a really respectable person such as a law enforcement officer – and most importantly of all, even though in the enlightened 1980s you might already be an Italian or an Irishman as these nationalities had finally become part of the melting pot just as the Slovak Sabo had, you’d better not be a “spic,” “chink,” or “nigger,” plus poor and opposed to the status quo in a quite different sense than the mafia is.
