I really don't get why people are obsessed with every aspect of this case, down to Holmes' daily routine in prison. She's gone to prison and will stay there for a long time, case closed. She's even lucky she ended up in a relatively good prison, not the hellholes called USPs that violent offenders go to.
My pet theory (and this will probably trigger a lot of people) is that it's because she's a woman. She did some particularly heinous stuff, but the US consciousness seems to have an appetite to see disgraced women in power suffer. Martha Stewart is another example that comes to mind.
And importantly: after cheating the US governments' most trusted individuals-turned-investors plus a couple other billionaires out of several hundred million dollars.
I mean she just totally misunderstood the game: you cheat the poor in the US. Not the rich. Strange that such an intelligent woman missed that.
Yeah but if you look at the conditions of that prison you'll think twice about that. The fact that white collar crime gets a slap on the wrist incentivizes more white collar crime.
Only because the victims in this case were billionaires too. Remember, she was convicted for defrauding investors, not because of the harm she done to poor patients.
Walgreens put her technology in their stores without doing any due diligence to confirm the accuracy of their tests and none of those executives are in jail for the harm done to poor patients either.
It's because people are sick and tired of the wealthy committing crimes and getting away with it either entirely, or receiving only a slap on the wrist.
I don't know if 11 years is a proper sentence for what she did, but it makes me wonder about all the others who defrauded even more and just got a slap on the wrist
