JeanieS: Illness no excuse

JeanieSpokane on Sandra Martinson pleads guilty on August 21 at 4:24 p.m.

Sorry - it bugs me when people use an illness as “punishment enough” (e.g., “Sandy’s already been sentenced, by a Judge much higher than Fred Gibler, via confinement to a body ravaged by MS”). So, my disability and terminal illness - End Stage Renal Disease - means I can commit a pretty hefty crime - stealing from the public to benefit myself. Dang! Where do I sign up???

Jeanie was responding to a comment from JohnA who is a friend and former colleague of Sandra Martinson. Sez John: “Jail time in real terms would serve no earthly purpose except to placate the lynch mob mentality some in society possess.”

What say you?
