JUSTICE SYSTEM BIASED

Re: your June 13 article, "Police search yields 200 prescription pills":

The referenced article reveals one more clear case of the Ventura
County criminal justice system's favoritism toward white female criminals.

Emily Randles was arrested on suspicion of selling prescription pills
to a 16-year-old. Police reported the district attorney's "intent" to
file felony charges in this case. However, Randles -- who could be
charged with endangering the health and safety, contributing to the
delinquency and illegally dispensing prescription without a license to
a minor -- was released "on her own recognizance."

A Latino man was jailed with a $500,000 bail for stalking his
wife.

The Randles case is only the latest in a long string of anti-Latino
bias conducted in the Ventura County justice system.
