"And there are enough fools out there, I imagine, who would complain that they are being "mean" to the poor sick old woman."
Yeah, maybe the "Scott is innocent" crowd. Looks like she's sick, might be poor thanks to sonny boy, probably kinda old. But somehow (if they've been covering up for him all along) I can't manage much sympathy. I mean sick old women don't get a free pass when breaking the law, do they?
Sadly, it seems women in general get more lenient treatment than men, at the hands of the law. I guess it doesn't matter too much when it's something like Jackie's pathetic lies, but it matters to me to see women like Mary Kay LeTourneau or Susan Smith get less than the max!
