Well, you might think it is silly, but it is the law.

There was a famous quote - something to the effect that "the law is an ass". Just think, Martha will serve almost as much time as a murderer. I feel much better now.

All I am saying is that the judge has no choice. Unless Martha can get this thrown out on appeal, she is going to serve time in prison. The plea offered her originally would have been a better choice for her.
