I agree. Temper justice with mercy.

And I would agree that the probation be strict. No going on talk shows, lecture circuits, news shows, no books, no interviews, no articles, no letters to the editor from her, nothing. Maybe some electronic monitoring.

But this is not a case where the convict needs to be hammered.
