Resources exist to fight them. It’s just a choice not to.
Elizabeth Holmes was indicted 5 years ago. She was sentenced last year. She’s still walking around freely.
A normal person would’ve spent at least 4 of those years locked up, if not all of them. They most certainly wouldn’t be out and about after being convicted. These people simply have different rules applied to them.
She received an 11-year sentence last November but she's apparently a free woman until April 27th of this year.
Can someone who knows more about the American legal system explain this to me? Why is this possible? I assumed that when you're sentenced you get taken to jail pretty much immediately.
(Yes, I'm sure the short answer is just "because she has lots of money", but what are the details? What exactly did she spend it on to buy an extra 5 months of freedom?)
