Case study. Proves that the Lawyers and Judge in that one case were (comparatively) negligent of Justice. Your claim that it's a result of class divide causing bias has sound basis. Doesn't offer proof that this is an across the board bias. For example if the guy had been prosecuted as Dangerous driving and the Judge had come down hard the result would have been far different. Also consider that the case of the Darwin defrauding was big news which may have caused the Judge to come down more harshly so as to be seen to be making a difference.
Your claim lacks the backing of a general quantitative statistic that suggest that this is thematic. It also lacks qualitative depth that would be gained from, for example, interviewing the Judges that passed sentence to see why they issued prison sentences for the periods that they did.
