To the editor:

I recently read two stories in the Lawrence Journal-World that made me say, Hmmm? They were both rape cases that were, of course, heinous. What troubled me besides the obvious was one rapist was a Latino illegal and one was a white college student. Although the white rapist was extremely brutal and was sentenced on more charges (I am assuming both had clean records) the Latino was sentenced to more time? (165 months plus deportation v. 106 months)

Both judges in these cases are from Douglas County, and the same reporter wrote both stories. Why was I the only one that noticed this discrimination? Could this be why a drunk cop in Topeka could shoot two Latino men and not be charged? I think the Kansas Supreme Court needs to do some homework. As a Latino I feel like I have a target on my back.
