When you look at the cast of endorsements and investors for both Holmes and Fried, it’s not surprising we are where we are politically. Seems neither side of the isle are immune from the classic grifter selling their snake oil with promises of health, wealth and prosperity.
He'll be out and roaming the streets in less than 3 years. And he won't be in a high security prison, more like a medium or low security, a Camp Cupcake maybe.
Personally I thought camp cupcake was funny, never heard that before
That's where Martha Stewart did her time, Alderson Federal Prison, aka Camp Cupcake. The locals refer to the facility as 'The College Campus'. Inmates are encouraged to bring their tennis rackets, plenty of volleyball and swimming, too.
Our legal system can be very frustrating. I attended a sentencing hearing last week for a man who has 10 felony convictions over the past 10 years. He was recently offered a plea to complete a rehab program, and have 15yrs probation, or 15yrs DOC if the program wasn't completed.
He was kicked out of the program before orientation was completed. Then he signed up for a different program closer to home with different rules, not approved by the DA. Rather than sentencing him to what he agreed to in his plea, the judge is going to see if he completes the new program that he chose himself.
This man has crippled local farms and familirs stealing equipment, been involved in drugs, stealing copper from oil sites, possession of firearms and more. Has received deferred and suspended sentences, drug court that wasn't completed, probation that he doesn't check in with, restitution he hasn't paid, and he commits felony after felony. I don't believe he fears the legal system.
The benefit of his crimes outweighs the punishment he's received for the crimes he's been caught for.
There always seem to be a few who find a ways to scheme their way through the seams and cracks in the system. They are schemers. Often require a little push here and there either through incompetence or indifference.
Seems like Martha Stewart used her time to increase her popularity, I look forward to seeing what the Timepiece Gentleman's new character arc becomes

I share your concerns, though frankly, individual instances such as those pale in comparison to what corporations are able to achieve, thanks to the essentially corrupt legal system. TBTF banks pay "cost of doing business" fines for committing crimes for which individuals would be put away for life. Etc.
It's disgusting.
