1.5 years! What a fucking joke. I have family who went to prison longer over drug possession.

Unfortunately is has a lot to do with prosecutors being skeptical of a jury convicting a woman (specifically white woman) without overbearing proof. Jurors have been shown time and time again to show sympathy disproportionately based on gender.

Welp... She will be in PC the entire time. Women don't like other women who hurt children.

The only people in the prison system targeted more than child predators, elder abusers, snitches, or former cops; are woman who killed their children. Many woman in the system are mothers who miss their kids more than their freedom.

Bc misogyny ironically enough. It happens to only benefit the worst women. It’s bc misogyny is so prevalent people have a hard time believing women can commit a heinous crime, as deliberately as men. She’s mentally ill, or abused into it, or traumatized! Sure these defenses are used for men but they don’t work as often. Bc there’s a public awareness that women ARE more often abused and controlled, in part bc we are less physically strong and in part bc the existence of the patriarchy asserting we are emotional rather than rational.

This is always MRA’s first talking point which I find hilarious bc it shows the crux of the need for men’s rights activism, is literally misogyny. It’s the other side of the patriarchy coin. One of the very few ways the patriarchy doesn’t benefit men. And they use it to say the patriarchy doesn’t exist Lmao oh honey.

While I'm sure she's more than "1.5 years in prison" complicit in Harmony's murder, this plea hinges on her testifying against the husband. If that's the difference between him going away for life for murder (which was going to be nearly impossible to prove without her cooperation) and him catching a much shorter sentence for "welfare fraud" or some other consolation prize, I'll take it. Plus it's a suspended 10+ year sentence, so if she fucks up after release, it's back to prison she goes.

Oh, just look at her eyes! We wore masks for years--you haven't learned to read those expressions yet? I saw that bitch's eyes, I could see she has no remorse, she's just thrilled to get off so easily.
