Hmm, I think that was an episode of Supernatural.
Seriously though, shes gotta be a crazy flight risk, right?
She’s got to find the one-armed man who stole the secret of Newton, even if she has to swan dive off of a dam to do it. Tommy Lee Jones is coming out of retirement for the biopic.

Not the same. His tactic succeeded, it did not fail, in delaying his incarceration for a month.
The appeal failed.
Yes I know but the tactic succeeded in delaying his incarceration. The same will happen for Homes.
Again, exactly what I said.
Has anyone in authority given a legitimate, rational explanation for having two wildly different systems of justice?
The rich. They’re not like you and me.
There’s not two willdly different systems of justice. Some people can afford better lawyers who think more creatively and will use every opportunity that their clients will pay for to delay there incarceration.
Doesn’t mean that Holmes will serve less jail time…it just will be delayed on when she starts.
Your average run of the mill citizen, cannot afford that kind of counsel or your typical lawyer will just tell you that you would be better off just starting your sentence now.
Which might actually be good advice. Life waiting for prison to begin is not much fun. Get started, and you get it over sooner.
There’s something to be said for time spent with the baby now is better than an extra month when the kid is in High School. But, yeah, she has no chance.
I’m told they’re good eatin’; cane silage-fed and deep massaged like Ishigaki beef.

Ah, yes, how “[t]he law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.”
The Red Lily, an interesting French novel about a jilted lover.
The Deep Ones won’t answer my calls anymore. I used to set up machine guns on the beach, call the Deep Ones over for a chat, and let loose. They’re wise to my tactics now.
They’re slack-jawed but not stupid. You need explosives, preferably delivered by howitzer, or in these modern days, via drone. Still, their ability to interbreed and collect their reserves deep in ocean ravines make them resilient. Ultimately, they’ll take control of the nation as they have of the Jersey Shore.

To be clear, she’s appealing an earlier denial of another request to remain free pending appeal.
The only reason it will keep her free for another month is because that’s how long it will take the appellate court to deny this request.
Yeah, I guess it bought him a month. Courts are busy.
For reference, the article referencing the judge’s order that was the subject of the appeal was written March 10th:
