    I keep hearing how she is "broke", "penniless", etc. I would like to have the opportunity to see if she has equity in a house, if she owns expensive jewelry/watches she bought during her boom days, if she has a safe deposit box with valuable contents, etc. The fact that her stock is now worthless does not make her broke. I bet she still walks away with a few million and very little jail time. Granted it is nothing like the billions she was once worth, but if she comes out of the whole thing with $1. more than she had when she went into it, she is not broke. Broke is when you are trying to figure out how to buy food, or whether you should steal food. Broke is when you are about to be evicted. Not all assets have to be cash, either. Give me a Patek Phillipe watch in mint condtion, and I am good for money for at least a year when I sell it, and that is not even a diamond or limited production model.

    Facing jail, it is the height of irresponsibility to get pregnant. Unless...it was done to gain sympathy from jurors, which is a despicable reason. The court tried to counter this strategy by delaying the trial until after the child is born.

Such demands will prove that the baby was conceived to be used as a prop for the trial.

      females dont get sentenced unless there is nothing a judge can do to avoid it. rapists, murderers, all known to avoid jail if female. A black man is 2100% more likely to receive a jail sentence in the USA compared to a white woman for the same crime.
