She has been found guilty of fraud and facing six years in jail
United States legal system is as strange as ever
Is she still trying to run the “I am a victim of DV” argument?
No surprise there. She has exchanged fluids with many well connected dirty old men
I bet she's a non blinker.
The only reason for their inability to convict
Guilty . That is all.
