In Beverly Hills, shoplifting is a felony, because everything is overpriced. Ryder has two strikes ... so, in a state that bases it's Criminal Law on the rules of baseball ... one more dress out the door without paying and she's doing life for shoplifting.
Meanwhile, across the country ... neighboring states are forum shopping the accused snipers because the criminal laws vary drastically within the same trade area of the Home Depot in Falls Church.
Yeah, that's a rational criminal law system you've got in the United States.
