Or to be overly dramatic: "Who has committed suicide because of her lies?", because we know that answer is not zero, and a direct consequence of her modus operandi of scorched earth legal warfare with anybody who steps out of line.

I'm in favour of being, as a society, so ambitious that you want to give all criminals a second chance, and in that sense, she deserves one.

But that's not, _at all_, how the US justice system is designed. If _she_ gets a second chance, that's.. a ridiculous injustice.

How so?

Recently pardoned silk road dude got his second chance and HN largely looked favorably at that situation (I'm not attibuting this view to you here). What makes Holmes worse, if anything?

People ascribe some kind of Robin Hood-esque virtue to Silk Road dude, even though he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in an attempt to have 5 people murdered.

I’d rather never hear about either one ever again.

I suspect people who favor pardoning Silk Road Dude will tell you he did nothing wrong to begin with.

Sure, but prosecutors showed evidence of multiple overdose deaths via SR transactions - which Ulbricht was at least as responsible for as Holmes was for her scientist’s suicide..
