Soccer Mom Madam Anna Gristina in court. 

The Blind Lady of Justice is being pimped out.

On Thursday in Florida, a judge granted $ 150,000 bail for George Zimmerman, who is charged with the murder of Trayvon Martin.

Last week, a career criminal named Ivan Ramos was arrested after allegedly raping, sodomizing and robbing a young woman in a stairwell in Greenwich Village. Facing 15 years, an obvious flight risk and a clear threat to the community, Ramos was given $ 300,000 bail.

M eanwhile, Anna Gristina, the so-called Soccer Mom Madam and married mother of four, has been held on $ 2 million bond since Feb. 22 on a nonviolent charge of promoting prostitution. This is a Class D felony that usually means probation and carries a maximum sentence of two to seven years.

Its absurd and absolute hypocrisy, says Kelvin Gorr, the husband of Gristina, who has been holding the family including a 9-year-old boy together. I have absolutely no idea how violent criminals get that kind of bail while my wife sits in Rikers on $ 2 million bail. The kids ask me the same questions. Nicholas, whos only 9, cries all the time, aching for his mom, asking why she's being treated like some monster. Nicholas has nightmares about his mom. Its doing damage to him psychologically.

I tell Gorr that two weeks ago five male hotel clerks were charged by the Queens DA with the same exact crime as Gristina for allegedly steering johns to hookers in two hot-sheets motel s. All five were all released on their own recognizance, without posting a dime in bail.

Theres an obvious double standard, Gorr says. Theres a separate justice system for Anna that I dont understand. It's not part of the American justice system that I know.

Asked about George Zimmerman being granted $ 150,000 bail for the most celebrated murder in recent memory, Gorr said, This is another case Ill have to try to justify to the kids. Theyll see Zimmerman get bailed out after being charged with killing a 17-year-old and ask why Mom, who didnt hurt anyone, cant get out, too. I have no answers.

Shame on the Manhattan district attorneys office and Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan for collaborating on this ridiculous bail. Blatantly pro-prosecution Justice Charles Solomon who upheld it is no more just.

Anna Gristina has been sitting on Rikers Island since Feb 22 after being investigated and wiretapped since 2004. When authorities final ly busted Gristina, they didnt find millions in cash or a black book bulging with trophy-bust johns.
