Unjust Sentences

The Politics of Crime points out two criminals convicted of illegal activities in the Katrina aftermath. Let's see how you do.

1.Three men convicted of looting "27 bottles of liquor and wine, six cases of beer and one case of wine coolers, six days after Katrina made landfall."
2. Two men convicted of "conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official for allegedly making a deal to falsify debris removal documents after Hurricane Katrina."

Guess which ones got 15 years in jail and which ones got 1 year and a $5,000 fine.
