Marion Jones sentenced to prison?? Are you f'n kidding?!

[Quickerblade]

that sucks.

[Triple-H_2005]

Thank you Congress for using my tax dollars this way!
I feel so much more safe and secure knowing that another EVIL steroid user is off the street...

In the worrds of Gallagher...

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", would the opposite of "progress" be "congress"?

Assholes.

[musclehedz]

6 months for lying under oath? or for using juice?

would be sad if the punishment is given for the last "crime"

they might aswell lock up all pro. athletes and their doctors...

[jaejonna]

'she' wont recover

[Quickerblade]

that's not marion jones

[240 is Back]

that's not marion jones

That's not Marion Barry.

[LATS]

  they actually nailed her for the check fraud scam.. they tied the gear in to make a statement.. but, her charges are more in line with check fraud/tax evasion..

[CalvinH]

Here's the deal. Our ENTIRE JUSTICE SYSTEM in the U.S. is predicated on the premise that PEOPLE MUST TELL THE TRUTH UNDER OATH. People are sentenced to death, people are bankrupted, and people are enriched by billions of dollars all under the single premise that you can lie all you want to the media or your friends, but ONCE YOU ARE IN A COURT OF LAW and UNDER OATH, you CANNOT LIE OR YOU WILL BE PUNISHED.

If this premise is undermined, our entire legal system is meaningless. When people are permitted to lie under oath without severe penalty, the system falls apart and testimony becomes a meaningless web of lies with no ability to discern the truth from lies.

PERJURY must be treated seriously and penalized harshly.

Booooom!

Next time, she needs to keep her mouth shut, then they can't do anything.

this should show people who got hrough this bullshit in the future DO NOT LIE TO A FEDERAL GRAND JURY OR TO THE FEDS IN GENERAL, THEY WILL SEND YOU TO JAIL GAURANTEED.

[Hedgehog]

Sorry, but the U.S. government has bigger fish to fry then to worry about steroids and atheletes that use them.

If you're gonna use, at least don't compete in federations that prohibit the use of it.

My problem is the cheating aspect of it.

[David Puddy]

THIS is bogus; Sent to jail for purgury

They ALL use something.

Deal with it. 


When she comes out, I'll marry it.

[Hedgehog]

THIS is bogus; Sent to jail because of purgury

They ALL use something.

Deal with it. 

What are you gonna tell those athletes who compete and follow the rules?

[David Puddy]

What are you gonna tell those athletes who compete and follow the rules?

Are there any?

Cheating? Cheating is getting an advantage over other athletes. You could say the same thing about unequal training facilities 

Almost every pro athlete is using chemicals these days, get the picture? Chemicals are NEEDED in sports.

[Cleanest Natural]

SHE TOOK HORMONES....BIG F DEAL...U CALL HER A CHEATER ?...WTF DO U THINK AL;L; ATHLETES DO?U KNOW BETTER THAN US....U BLAME MARION FOR WHAT ?...U POSTED THIS JUST TO LICK THE US GOV ASS LIKE U ALWAYS DO IN SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOOD GUYS WHO ARE ALL AFTER NARCOTICS...NO NO NO MR GH....I AM CALLING U OUT....U KNOW MARION SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE....BUT U WANT TO BE ON THE "GOOD GUY'S " GOOD SIDE...IN THEIR GRACES , BECAUSE IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL WITH YOUR INCOME. u KNOW IT TOO AND U WILL NEVER ADMIT IT HERE OR ANYWHERE....JUST DON'T CALL MARION A CHEATER CAUSE SHE DID WHAT EVERYONE ELSE DID....

[Mars]

[musclehedz]

Take these words to be gold coming from the foremost legal expert on getbig.com!!

That said, I think a point a lot of us are making is that Marion should never have been in court to begin with.  It would be one thing if what she did was malum en se (wrong in and of itself) as opposed to just malum prohibitum (wrong [as or because] prohibited).

Like most people in your joke of a US justice system, her only crime was breaking the law.  Where is the corpus delicti (body of crime)?  Oh yeah, it didn't exist.  People used to laugh when I would point out that someone's only crime was breaking the law, so I'm happy I found the terminology to justify why my point of view was the correct one.

PS - I know that you know what these latin terms refer to Ed, I am just clarifying for the rest of the board.

I don't mind the cheating, it's the getting caught I have a problem with.
