That, Madam, Is Exactly the Point

The French are upset about alleged rapist and International Monetary Fund boss Dominique Strauss-Kahn being perp-walked by the NYPD. This comment, by a former justice minister, is telling:
[Eva] Joly, who is now a leader of the French Green Party expected to run in next year’s presidential election, added that the American justice system “doesn’t distinguish between the director of the I.M.F. and any other suspect.”
It's not supposed to, lady.

Of course, in reality, it does. Strauss-Kahn is not being represented by a kid from Legal Aid or a private defense lawyer on the public defender's list who just met his client thirty seconds before the arraignment hearing. On the other hand, your run-of-the-mill rapist would have had bail set (whether or not he could make bail is another story) and would not have been remanded as a flight risk.

France is different, which is why they have a self-confessed pedophile, Frédéric Mitterrand, serving as their Minister of Culture.
