idk, corporations shell out a ton of money in fines for crimes they re-commit later on.

There's an argument that holmes would learn her lesson with a ~2yr sentence as opposed to an 11yr sentence. But I'm unconvinced that a 0yr sentence paid for by investor funds would prevent future crime.

It's like kids, they think you're joking about a penalty until you actual turn the car around once.
