What prison gang will she join?
What’s the Over & Under for the number of prison tats she will get while in the slammer?
You are completely right in every respect.
Agree 100%.
Free Aunt Becky.
If still overcrowding, a few days. I hope she gets back to work at least on those garage sale mysteries. She was outstanding in them. People have done far worse and went back to work.
This is Fed prison. She HAS to do 85% of her time. No early release from the Feds. She will be out Dec 21st if she doesn’t get tough in there.
It shouldn’t be brutal, but it’s not gonna be fun.
Lori’s crimes pale compared to Comey, Brennan, or Clapper.
I hope she can recover and get work again. You’re right. She was great in Garage Sale Mysteries and her cast mates really liked her.
It was a stupid mistake, but her whole life doesn’t need to be ruined, and she certainly shouldn’t have gotten jail time.
It's some kind of unwritten rule. Politicians benefit from it all the time.
The one who gave the bribe is the criminal. The one who took the crime is... well, whatever he (or she) is, they're not prosecuted.
There are no cells in a spa prison like this
They either have rooms or more likely a large open space with cubicle type areas for sleep and personal space stuff
The feds have a 98 percent conviction rate and beating them isn’t easy.
The charges are piled on and you need an expensive lawyer or team of lawyers to fight them.
From what I’ve seen in the last four years your name has to be Bundy to beat the federal prosecutors who in Case 1 in Oregon lost to a fighting lawyer who got tackled and tased by the federal marshals right after the not guilty verdicts in the courtroom.
Then in Bundy Case 2 in Nevada Bunkerville the feds withheld the evidence from defense lawyers proving their innocence. Mistrial and dismissal of charges with prejudice.
There’s no early release in the federal system for anything under a year. It’s why a lot of “year and a day” sentences. That way they can get good time credit.
we are all under house arrest right now anyway. ....
I didn’t know that. Boy, that sucks for her.
When looking at that 98% conviction rate, I wonder how many are as a result of plea deals and how many from full trial. Genuinely don’t know. But I’d guess a pretty massive amount of counted convictions came before and without an actual trial. Stacked charges and financial burden, coupled with offering sentences of 80-90% less simply for agreeing NOT to go to trial would certainly elevate conviction rates that would otherwise be lower.
She used the wrong channels, but colleges are fine with people using influence to get admission.
The Bidens, on the other hand, sold out our national security for personal monetary gain. They are the modern-day Rosenbergs.
It’s about punishing celebrities who donate tho the GOP. IIRC, her husband is a GOP donor — and maybe she is, too.
The feds can outspend you by billions. The Michael Flynn case shows that the feds have almost unlimited power and resources.
