So she pleads guilty to drug trafficking and money laundering, gets three years, and serves half of it—while people who commit much lighter crimes get much harsher sentences? She has blood on her hands, and I guarantee you that if everything was the exact same but she had black skin and a homely face, it would have been 20 to life. Shit like this is why sentencing needs to be deferred to an impartial panel that isn't given the defendant's name, age, race, income, or gender unless there's literally no way to avoid it. Not only would people like her get removed from society for the amount of time we actually need them to be, there would also be a lot of black and brown people who would be given much lighter sentences because a sentencing panel would have to consider the "risk" that they're putting affluent white people in jail.
This isn't racism. She's pretty but she is brown skinned. This is about money. El Chapo had billions that the US and Mexican Government's wanted but couldn't find.
His Wife was in control of the Money Laundering, she knew where the money went and was being kept. She bought her way out with several billion dollars of El Chapo's drug money.
You're missing the forest for the trees, and you're not telling me anything I don't already know. Her plea deal was too lenient, lots of other people in 100% identical circumstances would have been given the "deal" of ten years before being eligible for parole.
I agree with you on that, we just disagree about why she got such a lenient plea deal.
