OK, what she did was not that big of a deal and probably anyone of us would do the same if we found out that some stock we held was about to tank. And it wasn't a large amount of dough by anyone's standards. It's more of a case of her arrogance thinking that she can lawyer her way out of it no problem instead of just pleading to something small in the beginning and being over w/ it. Prosecutors don't like it when you don't take their deal, so they clobbered the two of them.
For anyone feeling sympathy for her, from what I've heard she would walk over any one of us to save a buck or get the next cab in the rain.

Years ago her ex-husband described her as "a b!tch on wheels", and for some reason I believe him. He's probably laughing his ass off.
