So you worry more about the deterioration of a murderer's health? That prison food is horrible? I thought prison is suppose to be a deterrent.
In any event, the payoffs of police and officials is fair game for everyone. But she's still a murderer.

Not always reliable..
If you would drive in Curacao and a local would hit your car and you have eye witnesses.. Guess who's gonna pay for the damage? Hint.. It wont be the local!
she is appealing.. so she says.. So it would be said, in the States, at least. realeased on bail pending an appeal.
So she is a fugitive then. I wonder if the DR will apply to the UK for her return.
No, it was involuntary manslaughter. She was drunk at the time, right? As in drunk driving. But the message that the world was getting was not that she was a drunk driver but that the Domnican prisons were hell holes, full of parasites with inadequate health care. I know that the model prisons have doctors and nurses right there, that patients' are seen as needed. But it may be true that she had to pay for medicines. And it is true that the food is terrible.
Her family evidently had a good "spin" machine back in the UK and this was really bad publicity.
I just do not see that anything was gained from keeping her longer. Many could argue that 2 years in a DR prison is comparable to 5 years in the US or Canada or the UK..

MA, I read the article that you posted(#67) where it says she's appealing but the date is
Feb 7th 2014, that is an old article.
yes, but I think she is one of these "has no shame" types and wants to keep up the publicity for her upcoming book.. to pay back her folks for some of the money that they lost.. And expose the REAL Dominican Republic.. which appears after your 63rd rum has softened your brain.
Drink and Kill
Whatever.
I always have a problem with drivers getting lenient sentences.
Somebody runs over your child. Bad, isn't it?
Some drunk guy runs over your child; not so bad? :tired:

Her lawyers latest version is quite interesting, to say the least

She and/or family bought her way out. Not very different then other "criminals" with the financial means. Is it wrong, of course but that is the way the legal system works here for those who can afford it. This "deal" I am sure was in the works for awhile. There will be various versions but the fact is her freedom was bought. It is sad for the victims family I am sure but they are quite aware of how the legal system works in their country. It is not an excuse by no means again just the simple truth.
It was said in one report that the victim's family got $248k US so perhaps not so sad for them. That is a whole lot more than they would have gotten in the US system unless they brought a seperate civil suit for wrongful death.
This would make a great DR film, has so many elements that are covered on DR1.
Sankies, clueless foreigners, corrupt legal system etc etc etc...
Time to close this, as this part of the saga has come to an end.
I'm curious to see if we see any action taken against the DR side of the cast, doubtful.
