“…It is further ordered that the defendant shall be released from the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons as soon as her medical condition permits, the release plan is implemented and travel arrangements can be made.”
Apparently she still is in there because she isn’t well enough.
Let the dying begin!
Let the games begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Hmmm, a few less players this year. Last year there were 175, this year 165.
Heh, I was considering her, but one news article reported that the doctors feel that she has from a few months to 18 months to live, looks like she would last like the Lockerbie bomber and I decided to keep her for next year.
We’re becoming less macabre as a group, maybe?
:dubious:
