Regarding her prison sentence. The plea agreement allows her to serve her time in Minnesota. The women's prison in Minnesota is in Shakopee (about 5 miles from me). They don't even have a fence, you must stay on the grounds.
The sentence will also be 'recalculated' in accordance with sentencing changes that have occurred in the years since her crime. She -may- serve only 2.5 years, she may serve more. They keep pretty quiet about that.
She got a sweet deal.
And that's the dirty little secret of the World's Greatest Criminal Justice System. Fool the public with 20 to life headlines at sentencing and then quietly slap the wrist. Boy, I hope you and I are wrong on this one!
Where are you getting your figures? (not saying you're wrong, just wondering). I would think that since she said in her recent bail letter that she would have to serve slightly more than half of what she thought would be an approximately 5-yr sentence, that slightly more than half would still be the case with the longer (suprise!) sentence she actually received. (And just goes to show, don't try to play your judge for a fool.)
