Marion Jones has asked U.S. President George W. Bush to commute her six-month prison sentence for lying to government agents about her use of performance-enhancing drugs and a check-fraud scam.
Should Bush consider it? Read the story HERE.
Let's see!!! Ol' Marion cheated the people of the United States out of an HONEST REPRESENTATIVE at past Olympics as well as those Olympic teammates who had to return their medals due to her having to be Number One - regardless of the costs. And, apparently, she willing joined Tim in the check scheme.
Now, she wants us to believe she has repented after a little over 3 months in the slammer. Bull hockey!!!
No, don't commute her sentence or pardon her. Let's see if she can use the same drive to led her to cheat to complete her 800 hours (400 x 2 years)of Community Service without being called back before the Judge for failure to perform. And, please, no speeches for her - she's already been convicted of lying. Let her scrub floors or pick up highway trash.
For what she did she could have received a much longer sentence in prison and apparenly the Judge already gave her a break in the sentence that was imposed. If you do the crime you have to be ready to do the time. I`d bet a nickle that she will not get her sentecne commuted and I`d bet a dollar whe will never get a pardon.
She was set-up!
marion jones obviously was set up by the game people play in the college life and try to get to big for themselves by being peer pressured with lifestyles. I think her sentence is very light for what is cited with convictions. I would have pleaded not guilty and request for privacy or double-jeopardy with my trial and errors for the rest of my life. She was obviously mislead with management and influenced in the wrong way. I would cite mistrial and fire my lawyers. An appeal is approiate with this case but it would take six months before any one responds to the issues. I would not wory about being released it only six months. I would just not eat a lot of food just the vegetables. I thank god that I understand they I was set up also and never want to jeopardize myself in any way again.
