Reply #33: Sorry friends, but I think this is more than lenient [View All]

The woman basically stole $35,000 using inside information. If you or I had stolen that much, we would be doing hard time, 10-20 years. Hell, convictions for victimless crimes bring usually involve years of jail time, especially if you are black. Martha is getting off easy, and I really have no sympathy for her, she did the crime, she can do the time.

On the other hand, I also think that Lay, Skillings and these other white collar criminals should get busted hard, and do longer time since they looted more money. We will have to see if the justice system follows through.

But to say that Martha doesn't deserve this is ludicrous. In fact, she is really getting off rather easy. Five months in a country club jail, then house arrest and probation. Just gotta love white collar crime, the take is larger and the time is shorter:eyes:
