What kind of a sentence do you think she would have actually gotten, JD?

In the de la Beckwith case particularly, they just threw out the right to a speedy trial to bring him to justice. Minor technicality.

Well, if she was 50something and was looking at 50something years.....it wasn't a shocker to me when I heard she was found hanged yesterday.

Anyone who thinks Vitter would have had any interest in helping knock her off doesn't know much about Loserana political histery.

They take these things right in stride down there, don't they?

They can really pile on the sentences if they wish. That's why nobody takes it to a verdict. They would have probably settled for 3-5 years before going to trial. No sane individual would risk the alternative.

I've got some experience with this exact scenario with a member of my family.

It's not pretty when the Government has all the cards and all the money. Not a damn thing you can do about it.

Why would she commit suicide? She could have sold the list to the networks, wrote a book about her business and live the high life.

In Washington, it doesn't pay to piss people off unless you have a plan. Apparently, she didn't.

...and how many cops do you hear about who take one rather than going to trial and facing jail.

Suicide's becoming more & more common...and accepted (shrugged off)... in this country, which, imo, is a sad state of affairs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Lay said he died from a heart issue.

At least they are doing a service by sparing us the expense of the trial and incarceration. Not to mention sparing themselves of being behind bars where they put people since they won't be popular.

Why? Your life, your decision what to do, when to check out, etc. Why is it bad? Saves expense and reduces population
