  1. Too smart or simply too blonde? I can guarantee it would be a mug shot of her all over the media rather than lighthearted smile if she were any other race, never mind gender. There should be no need for an argument over double standards in 2017. I also wouldn't let her anywhere near me with a scalpel!

  2. I've followed this while she was awaiting sentence and am disgusted, appalled and saddened by the judges decision although I am not surprised, I would have put money on it!

    I think this piece hits the nail on the head as to why the judge made such a bad call

  4. You see this all the time with celebrities these days too. It’s actually shocking to see this happening in this day and age !! There’s an argument for OJ too , I’m still not convinced 😂
