I would have more compassion for bad people if they didn't do bad things.

Eerily similar experience, down to the charges and the 11 counts.

I don't disagree, but the average person on a jury just does what the lady in the skirtsuit tells them to do so they can get out of there. Most people you want on a jury throw away their summons with zero risk to the practice.

I looked into your case a bit and I agree your sentence is unduly harsh. You fraudently redeemed rewards for a bunch of fake people and make $100k, I don’t feel like this warranted everything that happened to you and your family. Sucks to be made an example of :/

I know you're trying to be nice, but I think you missed something.

The dollar figures involved are three to four orders of magnitude greater in their case.
