Correction: Her jail sentence will be suspended for two years with the remaining time spent fitted with an electronic bracelet.

French criminal Justice is a bit weird as the Judge is also the prosecutor.

Like I keep on saying, most of 'em are in the swamp, some just dipping their toe, others up to their proverbial necks.

how very convenient.

Trés.

I bet her opponents can't believe their luck. I bet they are wondering how she could have been so stupid. I bed Donald is looking on and thinking the same.

Leave the poor woman alone. She's only trying her best….

What she needed was money - lots of it. It doesn't matter how crooked you are as long as you have the means to delay.
