A single-panel editorial cartoon set in a courtroom. At left, a judge speaks from behind a large desk toward a dark-suited defendant seated at the centre table. The judge is tossing a key toward him. Two other suited figures sit at separate tables on the right. A sign reads “FEDERAL WHITE-COLLAR COURT.” The judge’s speech bubble says: “YOU’VE BEEN FOUND VERY, VERY GUILTY. HERE’S THE KEY TO YOUR PRISON CELL… I’M SURE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED TO LOCK YOURSELF UP”
🔑⚖️🙃 “Law and order” for the powerful too often means the honour system with better furniture. White-collar crime gets velvet gloves, second chances, and polite fictions about accountability. #EditorialCartoon #WhiteCollarCrime #TwoTierJustice #Accountability #RuleOfLaw ⤵
