INAL. Could someone knowledgeable explain why keeping someone out of jail during appeals is even an option?
Even if your appeal seems likely to win, which I guess is weird to have happen it may not and you can wait in jail. Since appeals require money most of the time it seems a way to wealthy people to delay punishment
- jjtheblunt 3y agoisn't it because she made bail?
- semiquaver 3y ago“bail” refers exclusively to pre-trial conditions. Not only is she post-conviction, she is post-sentencing, so bail has nothing to do with it. Generally white collar defendants get some time to get their affairs in order before incarceration. She is arguably abusing that time and trying her best to extend it via appeals.

- themitigating 3y agoShe has unlimited funds to gum up the system. I think that's what they meant.
