Discussing Marion Jones’ 6 month sentence
"cheating the system like i’m marion jones…" – joe budden
Marion Jones, once a respectable Olympian, will serve a 6 month sentence in a federal prison on two counts of perjury. (1 count for lying to prosecutors in New York about a bank fraud case and 1 count for lying in the bay area about using performance-enhancing drugs) All athletes who admitted to using steroids or HGH (human growth hormone) were excused but those that lied to a federal jury, were made an example. The judge made sure to tell her that he was making her an example for all athletes. (paying attention Roger Clemens?) Why not just admit it and keep it moving? Jones leaves her 3 sons behind as she prepares to turn herself in. If she was sentenced to 6 months, Barry Bonds should be very afraid. How long will she actually serve?

Not sure how long she’ll serve but she shouldn’t have been sentenced. Why waste space we supposedly don’t have on some one who used illegal drugs (potentially only self detrimental) and isn’t a threat to society?
Actuall why do we still have the same prison system knowin it doesn’t rehabilitate? Prison is jus college for criminals and you need to worry bout the one’s who graduate!
p.s. If I had to bet i know she’ll do more than whitegirls gettin released 2 days into they’re sentence….lol!
