Good! With good behavior, unlikely, she might even be out before she's 80.

Gotta love how Karen's come with the water works when they face consequences. The fuck are you crying for? You murdered a mother of 4 after terrorizing her and kids for years because you are a racist piece of shit. You now get to spend whatever few quality years you have left in prison, good riddance.

we're now at the point where the law doesn't matter as they will just rewrite it to do whatever they want, get outta here with those legally true technicalities

I think you overestimate how much Trump cares about a person like this, if nothing else.

What a crazy unbelievable story! An all-white jury and a white judge found her guilty and sentenced her? In Florida?? That's absolutely wild!

The cops were still extremely racist, of course, but that was completely expected
