It will be very hard to keep this up for nine years. Even if she only serves four years because of good conduct. And at her age that is a long time. Can/ will she appeal this verdict?

She is appealing. At the end of sentencing, her attorney asked about a motion he’d filed that would have prevented her from serving time until her appeal was decided.

That’s what he thought, anyway. The judge told him, “I denied that.” When he continued to argue, the judge said that the motion he’d filed relied on a precedent that didn’t apply to the motion.

Finally, the judge simply said, “No.”

The attorney said, “Thank you, Judge” and scuttled out of the courtroom.

So yes, she can and is appealing. And she’ll be appealing from prison.

I adore this judge.

Sadly we only get the smaller potatoes, the big criminal is still at large.

That judge knows how to be a judge and what he is there to do .

Somehow I can't imagine Tina Peters having 'good conduct' anywhere in her personality, even if it would get her out of jail earlier.
