GUILTY!!!!!
I don't see how that mitigates her crimes.
Twenty years? Too lenient!
Crimes only “count” if you know your accomplices.
“telling the judge she didn’t know that some of the 100 women she led and trained to use guns and explosives were children, some as young as 10.”
So it sounds like she was OK training adults to shoot, fight and kill but not children. How about using adult bullets, (like 45 cal) for the firing squad but not childish ammo (like 22 cal)?
20 years.
Hope she suffers every day.
Will she be at the prison/resort where Ghislane Maxwell is?
“Will she be at the prison/resort where Ghislane Maxwell is?”
Maybe, but kind hard to see an ISIS terrorism suspect getting a spot at a Club Fed facilitly. 20 years in a Fed. prison is a pretty stiff sentence. No parole and even with good behavior she should serve a minimum of around 18 years.
A man would have gotten life.
LOL! RIGHT YOU ARE!
