Why is there such a ridiculously long gap between her conviction and sentencing?
- xenospn 4y agoThey had Sunni’s trial as well and the judge deferred sentencing.
- HyperSane 4y agoWhy, they were not tried together.

- FireBeyond 4y agoWhich either paints her, in my mind, as delusional, a psychopath of both. I get maternal instincts. I get bodily autonomy. But to make a choice to get pregnant during a trial in which you are facing up to 20 years in federal prison (with all the restrictions on parole that that incurs) was either: "she believes her own shit, to this day, that she was just one step away from a miracle", "she is only focused on herself", or "callous ploy to win favoritism from jurors" (which I also wouldn't put past her, given her multiple chameleonic efforts, above and beyond the turtlenecks and deep voice acting).
- FreakLegion 4y agoIt could just as easily have been a pragmatic decision. She was already in her mid-thirties when indicted and staring down the barrel of prison into her fifties. If she wanted kids, there wasn't going to be a better time.

- TheRealPomax 4y agoMostly the fact that the US litigates so much. The courts haven't been on vacation in the mean time, they've been processing cases you'll never hear about. (downvotes notwithstanding: the US court system is quite literally full, which is why these things take so long. Even if a judge wanted to, their schedule often simply isn't open until months, sometimes more than a year, later)
