Meanwhile, the conversation slowly veered to the disproportionate sentencing of some criminals compared to others. For example, DJ Vlad pointed out that the infamous underboss of the Gambino family, Sammy the Bull, got only five years in prison despite admitting to murdering 19 people.

In response, Salley seemed to agree that there’s a discrepancy in the sentencing of the American justice system. Furthermore, he underlined the selective prosecution that takes place in the system. In other words, some criminals get a free pass while others are heavily prosecuted.
