I know about her sentencing...found out today...and I hate the results. I'm with PF on this one. Where's the difficulty in prosecuting if justice were truly blind and the judge and jury didn't know who they were prosecuting? It's the deed, not the persona, they are prosecuting or...on the other side, defending/disputing. If you or I did EXACTLY what M.S. did...we'd be up the river without a friggin paddle!
Or...do we say it's money that gets one a lesser sentence? Or...do we say it's their contribution to society (or lack thereof)...and if it's a two time loser with no money to his/her name...be gone with um!
No matter the circumstance...the name (be it a celebrity or Fortune 500 hoity-toity...etc.) could technically be omitted from the trial and it'd be fairer. I'm pretty sure of that after watching the O.J. Simpson trial!!!!!!!
