Yep. Prison makes you feel bad about the thing you did after you did it. It doesn't really affect your behavior before or during.

Disagree.

The thought of legal ramifications has absolutely prevented me from kicking someone's ass( or getting mine kicked in the process.)  I am not a violent person, but some people are just begging for a little correction in their life. Alas, I must wait for life to "give them theirs."

I avoid that and going all Surly and drawing dickbutt on public places.

Sorority life is in the past for Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli. Since March, the sisters laid relatively low after their parents,Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli, were indicted for their alleged involvement in the nationwide college admissions scandal.

 

Most recently, a source tells Us Weekly, the two siblings were kicked out of their sorority at the University of Southern California.

However, the girls are sticking together under the unfortunate circumstances by taking it “day by day,” adds the insider. “This has strengthened their bond more than anything possibly could.”

The past year has been trying for Isabella, 20, and her much more public sister, Olivia, 19, a influencer who lost endorsement deals as a result of the scandal. The insider continues, “Olivia’s world came crashing down quicker in terms of getting dumped and losing all of her business, but this all unfolded slower for Bella and it’s been more emotionally devastating.”

I think I feel sorry for those girls, I don't know how much they knew/had to do with the scam.

But it's abundantly clear by now that the only path to a good life for them is either porn and/or strip clubs. Thanks Mom!

They'll marry well.

Lol. Nice.

So there's a lot of mongolian babes there? Turkish? Saudi Arabian?

Sorry for the rant. But "asian" pretty much means chinese. Or anything else "ese". 

It most definitely doesn't mean "asian".

The most interesting legal-ish aspect of this is what plea will be forthcoming from the government?  There's no sense in pushing this case to trial unless Aunt Beckyco really wants to.  And that would probably be foolish.

Current plea policies require the plea to be to the most serious charged crime, which I suppose drives the notion that she fucked up by not taking the original plea, as the new charges are more serious.  That does NOT mean that an equally "light" sentence could not still be recommended/prescribed by the guidelines/handed down by the sentencing judge, even with the new crimes added.

While there are differences in the amount of money put in play by Aunt Beckyco and some of the other defendants, the essential nature of the wrong isn't changed by the level of charges brought.  To the extent the government insists on a stiffer sentence because of the additional charges, that is wrong, in my opinion.  It smacks of the legal gamesmanship that DAs and USA's are justly famous for, as well as some form of pride fuckin with em.

That's such a cute view. 

I'll take my unicorn in baby blue.

And it's aunt becky that "wants" to take this to court, i.e., she refudiated the govt's plea offer, right?

Look, like it or not, but she put herself in this position. Fuck her if she does more time b/c she turned down the original deal.

It's also complete bullshit to be forced to take a plea before you even get to look at the government's evidence or you're even actually indicted.  Also the rules I cited are the ones applicable to the browns and the poors, but not to the whites unless no one is watching.

gracious.  I bet very few people who watched her on full house back in the day would have ever imagined she’d still look this good some 30 years later.  what a uny-corn. 

I did, she's that kind of woman with ageless skin and looks. The girl next door kind of pretty. She's just a self righteous bitch apparently though.

 I don't wish I'll will on her, but she deserves whatever she gets. She and the husband are fist class assholes it appears.

Such shitty reporting.  A judge isn't recommending anything.  The judge will DECIDE.

Also, "roll"?  Really?  JFC.  Broadcast journalism must be a miserable degree at most places.

The prosecutor is asking for a month, probably based on Pretrial Sentencing Report prepared by US Probation and Pretrial Services.  The way this works is that non-lawyers at USPPS prepare that report, which applies the sentencing guidelines.  The AUSA can support it, ask for more, or ask for less.  The defendant gets to argue for less, which may be an application of the guidelines or a departure from them.

Then there will be a couple hour hearing where the judge makes fact-findings on a preponderance of any factors that may be required to apply sentencing enhancements or reductions, and bingo-bango, a sentence.

While the guidelines try to make it a sort of mini-trial with lots of due process, it's really a kangaroo court.  It's kind of appalling, except that otherwise a judge would pull a sentence out of his ass.  But in all their "scienciness," the guidelines bias sentences wildly upward in most cases.
