Given she is now convicted and soon to be sentenced, won't she be in jail for/during subsequent appeals?


she is not currently jailed. i saw on the news this morning after her guilty verdict walking out with her lawyer. i don't believe they jail you until sentencing for white collar crimes since you aren't a "threat" to the general public


Sorry seems I was unclear in my wording.

I said soon to be sentenced.

And words towards 'won't she be in jail through any appeal process.'

But in response to the original comment saying she won't get jail time at all due to appeals, do you think she will not be sentenced and the appeal with happen before then where they disregard this conviction during that process?

Anyway, confusion aside I was trying to politely point out they seem wrong in their assumption she will never see jail due to an appeal process. That's not how the process works.


You slightly misunderstood my cynicism: I don't think they'll overturn this convinction and cancel her sentence.

I think she'll only start serving time once the very last round of appeals ends - which is going to be many years after her death. They'll just Jarndyce v Jarndyce for decades to come.
