If she drags this thing out with appeals saying the judge was wrong, the jury was wrong, her own lawyer was wrong, everyone was wrong but her, then I certainly would not be so lenient. ::slams gavel down::  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Granted, the acts for which she was convicted were illegal. But I doubt if she will do any time for them. The convictions will be appealed, and ultimately she may just be given a hefty fine. And that's probably okay. The problem I have with this deal is how she is being used as the high profile whipping boy for all the sins committed by corporate America. There are much bigger fish to fry than this lady. The folks who we should be demanding serve very long jail sentences and pay extreme fines are those rat bastards committing much worse crimes behind the walls of Enron, Tyco, WorldCom and many others. All of this stuff is just the frost on the tip of a gigantic iceberg. If you rip off a few hundred bucks from a 7-Eleven, you'll do some serious hard time in "gen-pop" of a tough prison. The greedy devils who rip off money by the hundreds of millions are well connected. So they often do little jail time, and any time they serve is typically at some nice minimum security "Club Fed" site. Not only is white collar crime tolerated in this country, I believe it is actually encouraged via the good ol boy network.  |  IP: Logged William T.

By the way. has anyone pointed out to you yet that your last name also happens to be Ice Cubes real first name? Yep it is true. He was born O'Shea Jackson.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

He named his kid O'Shea Jackson Jr... he must have been drunk at the time like his parents. He really should have named the kid O'O'Shea Jackson if he wanted to get it right. There are a lot of O'Shea's in the movie industry. Some are pretty closely related some aren't.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

Rumors have been circulating throughout Hollywood that George Lucas, Terry Gilliam and some folks from Disney people have approached you about doing "Daryl O' Shea and the Little People." Would you care to confirm or deny these rumors?  |  IP: Logged Floyd Justin Newton Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 559 From: Phoenix, Arizona, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 03-09-2004 02:12 PM                     Oh,Oh.....
