Story here. Excerpt:
'The head of the Georgia NAACP called for the state to investigate the sentences given in the so-called "Barbie bandits" bank theft case, saying the two white defendants got less prison time than two black men.
Edward DuBose said Monday he will ask state Attorney General Thurbert Baker to look into the case.'

Right idea, wrong reason
The disparity is due to their differences in sex, not ethnic group. But I'll acknowledge that the fact that these guys were non-white probably didn't help.
makes perfect sense
just reverse the roles.
two black guys rob a bank, one gets probation and the other a couple of years, in Ga.
(sorry, had to go laugh)
the two white women who plotted, schemed and egged them on get dacades in prison.
yeah, makes perfect sense when you say it that way.
female judge. just a coincidence? i suppose. i guess if you can believe any of the rest of it you can believe that too.
amazing how many people in the "comments" thot this was an OK sentence for the pretty white girls.
