The son of U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore was back in the headlines this week after authorities filed charges for trespassing.

It was the second time in less than a year that 27-year-old Caleb Moore turned himself into police, and one of nine arrests since 2011 for the son of the GOP senate candidate and former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

And yet, none of the charges have resulted in prison time. This week, Reckon by Al.com has been looking at how the criminal justice system in Alabama treats low-income defendants, and whether they get locked out of programs that provide second chances and clean criminal records.

Does Caleb Moore represent the other side of the coin - a well-heeled defendant who escapes punishment again and again?
