How much time is she looking at?

NO formal sentencing by Judge Davila yet, including the length of imprisonment and fines (technically the judge can overturn a jury-declared guilt, however it's very unlikely here). ("U.S. District Court Judge Edward Davila will sentence Holmes at a later date.", according to CNBC.)

  Would be curious to here a law-person speculate even if it's just a guess.

Not sure but I would be interested in knowing how many years people think she deserves?

Considering the vast weight of the harms she caused, in a "fair" retributive justice system, she would get far worse the sentences routinely doled out to typical criminals. But the US "justice system" is hardly "fair". Personally, I don't really believe in retributive justice. The light sentences afforded to privileged criminals bother me, but what bothers me more are the draconian sentences received by those of less privilege.

  Yeah, except she defrauded rich people. Look at the people who went to jail following the housing collapse vs the madoff ponzi scheme Depressingly that seems to be the primary factor in such cases.

  I agree with the premise here. If she does get 20 years, then Sunny Balwani is going to get the chair.

a single charge can be 20 years. likely the charges will run concurrently, so probably less than 10 years if I had to guess, which is the cutoff for a minimum security prison.
