1. Astonishing that this will not be the top news story today

The waddler toddler and his tantrums take center stage.

6. *waddler toddler*

I'll never get the vision of him trying to choke someone with his little baby hands. And you *know* he had to use two hands to throw his lunch against the wall.

2. Too short

19. +1 n/t

3. Too short nt

13. It will probably seem like an eternity to her.

Twenty years to think about all the things she could have been doing with her time instead of doing the time. Twenty years to think about all things she could be enjoying right now if she hadn't decided to be a horrible human being.

I'll take the win, and anticipate the possibility that she may die on the inside.

18. I think super, ultra-rich

Would rather be dead than no longer rich. So, maybe. No clue her age

[Demsrule86]

20. She is 60 years old.

It is a life sentence likely.

4. Not sure how I feel about this

A part of me sees her as one more Epstein victim.

A different part of me sees 20 years as a slap on her wrist.

I'll take the 20 but say it should have been 30.

5. I hope this brings some comfort to her victims.

7. YET the men who used these sex slavery/sex trafficking services...

...have not yet been punished and never will.

8. She'll be 80 when she gets out

Good

[sheshe2]

11. Yup, just looked that up myself.

I agree, good.

[GoCubsGo]

12. Yeah, she's at the age where that could turn out to be a life sentence.

Still too short for my liking, but at least it's a significant amount of time.

9. People always talk about the length of sentence

But it's really the first year that counts. That's the adjustment time, when it the person starts getting used to the idea that life will never be the same.

10. 20 years, should have been a lot lot more. Had she been a nobody, she'd have been doing 65 yrs.

[Ferrets are Cool]

14. I hope there is no chance of parole.

[sunonmars]

17. I don't think she survives until Christmas, those secret wealthy clients will have her bumped off.

Now she goes into general prison without pre-trial protection........

15. Not long enough

[obamanut2012]

16. Only 54 days a year off her sentence

If she is a model prisoner.

She'll be almost 80 when she gets out.

She could have an okay life -- teaching classes, working in an office, some privileges from that. She has an Oxford degree.

I tend to think she may kill herself.
