Any news about Sylvia Boots - in prison for 45 years !!!

[SarahG]

Don´t get me wrong, I condemn what she did and feel sorrow for her innocent victim, but the daily life in a male prison must be a real horror for her with all those long term inmates knowing that Sylvia will be the closest to a real woman the will get for the rest of their lives !!!

You know what? Fuck you. Take your lame-ass moral relativism and suck it.

The real horror is being fucking dead. end of story. Boot's is doing the time she EARNED. Yeah, that's right, earned. Oooh, sorry jail isn't all pink fluffy unicorns.

Well, jail can be very pink... if its one of those jails that tries to "shame" guys using pink paint, pink uniform... and even pink handcuffs.

The time she earned? The sentence was unusually harsh, which poses two scenarios:

Under one scenario, her sentence was excessive and for that reason uncalled for.

Under the other, the problem is not her sentencing, but the excessively lenient sentencing that has been applied to others who committed similar crimes.

Either way something is wrong, the question is which. I am inclined to go with the later. Although I also believe that she was facing a stacked deck in the legal system for being trans, and that's why they threw the book at her (when they usually don't in other similar cases).

There were also rumors she had HIV.

If that was true, she would have been segregated from the rest of the general population. But that's not always the rule, though.

Uh? Pink handcuffs? Jail. What are you talking about?

1-Boots is in prison, not jail. There is a difference.

2-People have been sentenced to 20+ years for rape and other crimes. Different states, different prosecutors, different judges and juries. That's why it's probably best not to commit a crime in the first place, especially manslaughter, kidnapping, murder, rape.

some people are simpletons smh.

Uh, I read the link. A jailer in Alaska used pinks handcuffs sent to him by jailers in Arizona. Again, those are jails not prisons. Still not sure what the link has to do with a person in a Cali. prison.

Well it certainly seems like the judge had it out for her.

But with that said it seems this could have been totally avoided if she wasn't so hard headed (no pun intended) and stubborn. There were too many convenient encounters between those two. If someone has constantly threatened you. Had there friends beat you up. Had there boyfriend shoot you in the head and steal your car. Then maybe you should change your patterns. Maybe you should stop going to certain clubs where you know she might come to. Or if she simply told the police all of those facts Tanja would be in jail right now and the victim would be alive.

Also from reading the article Sylvia has a 100% chance of getting a mistrial called for her trial. The judge messed up. The prossecution was bias. Her lawyer was obviously inept and incompetent. That's if the facts were correct which I really doubt considering how bias that statement was. Also why would she not have enough money for a retrial? The website started out clamoring about how much money she was making in porn. Now she is suddenly a hard case who needs all of our help?
