When he was laughed at and basically told to shove off; he became somewhat belligerent and they put him in jail. He stayed in jail for more than six months, no charges, no court, and one day was just released to a Mexican attorney who had been hired by his family. His family had hired the Mexican attorney to pay off the powers that be.

I don't know if TJ justice is any different today. I doubt it.
