No, but those are social issues. The American "liberal" establishment is generally right-wing by global standards, or least by Western standards, when it comes to economic issues.

Bernie Sanders gets called "far left" or "socialist", but if he lived in Europe he'd be considered a pretty run-of-the-mill centre-left liberal.

It doesn't matter to the story, not that it doesn't matter in general.

She received an 11-year sentence last November but she's apparently a free woman until April 27th of this year.

Can someone who knows more about the American legal system explain this to me? Why is this possible? I assumed that when you're sentenced you get taken to jail pretty much immediately.

(Yes, I'm sure the short answer is just "because she has lots of money", but what are the details? What exactly did she spend it on to buy an extra 5 months of freedom?)
