Dumbest legal move ever.
L
Tell me about it. She’s facing FORTY years.
She thinks she has a shot with a jury of “eat the rich” Commifornians? LOL.
I should have seen this post first. And Second. And Third.
It is the MOST GLARING thing to be taken away from this article.
She is INSANE.
WHATEVER HAPPENS in that courtroom, she is ####ed.
Even if she gets no time, she thinks it is going to HELP her reputation?!?!!?
No. EVERYTHING comes out in court cases and it is usually ALL BAD for the defendant.
But to her it makes sense because she lives in a make believe Hollywood world already.
Just wow.
I think her lawyer is settng up an appeal based on inadequate/incompetent counsel.
I would agree with you except for one thing. If she can get the trial is in California, anything is possible. They acquitted a murderer who slashed two people to death because he was an actor.
Liberals think everyone thinks and agrees with them. They are so closed minded that they can’t understand or entertain an opposing thought.she is hoping for a jury of hard core academic Liberals.
Not to mention greedy lawyers who benefit from a trial. Martha Stewart did her time and is as big as ever. The other actress and unknowns made the smart move - cut a deal and get probation. BTW, where are the charges against the faculty personnel who accepted the bribes or false documents?
Long term, maybe not. It sounds like the only way to avoid jail is this Hail Mary pass. In a trial, she can shift the blame to those who told her what she did was standard procedure, maybe that she didn't know the money was payoffs. A "finders fee" or a counselor to find an appropriate college is common.
The whole application process is bizarre and the line between legal and illegal is blurred. Add to that, a judge could well be in that elitist, privileged club who just might have done stuff to get their kids admitted. One unintended consequence of the Kavanaugh hearing was we got a view into how out of control and entitled the HS lives of the spawn of the elite are, without any consequences for their future options.
The silver lining is there should be less pressure on students now to take expensive packages for a "better" college when there's probably a local option that's affordable.
