I didn't even know about the cheque fraud thing. Really bogles my mind when rich athletes get involved in crime. Sounds like she just lyed about having any knowledge of it, or I could be mistaken.

She should of considered her options or consequences

1. Before she lied
2. Before she committed fraud
3. Before she had another kid.

Don't feel sorry for her, feel sorry for the kid.

I have a 10 month old baby boy at home. If I was sentenced to six months it would suck but I could live with it. My wife on the other hand would be shot trying to escape the first day.

Why would you even have a baby knowing that you maybe going to jail though? Did she think it would help her cause? ty reason to have a kid....

She probably isn't that fast because she isn't on steroids right now.

That was funny...


As for Jones, I have no sympathy for her. I just took the time to read the whole article and it really clarifies that she has a pattern of poor decision making. What she's ultimately being punished for was not a single mistake made on a single day, it is a few different things over the course of a few years.
No sympathy from me.

Tonya would eat her alive, and not in a sexy party way.
