I am absolutely not terribly invested here. But I wanted to kick something around (I opened the wiki and just decided I don’t care that much to invest time into this but it is a thought kicking around my brain so I figured I’ll express it here) - I am wondering if the school that did this is relatively wealthy. As Macbooks aren’t cheap, and I think most schools were tossing around chromebooks instead right? So perhaps the reason why nobody ultimately got in the appropriate amount of trouble for this crime is because they themselves were people of a certain status. Or knew how to grease the right palms.
Yeah, see. I’ve seen some schools in my travels that make me want to slap someone. Because I am astonished at how far the haves and the have nots are apart. But also, I’d say in general whenever the sentence never seems to align with the punishment you can bet there’s some classist mechanisms in the works.

The program began in the 2009 school year. The first Cr-48 was released in December 2010.
It’s a suburb just outside Philadelphia and has some very wealthy parts. Kobe Bryant grew up there.

That sounds unlikely to me. If the school is wealthy, then so are their students’ families.
Yeah Lower Merion is rich. It’s where Kobe came from.
The beef?
No, the rapist.
