Winona verdict reached... GUILTY

[silverpig]

Damn. I wish I could pull off a deal like that at the Ducati dealer here...

 

[klah]

Vandal !!!!!

 

[Harvey]

If she's guilty, it's a felony. We'll see if "equal justice under the law" is more equal for some. :disgust:

No, it means they take stuff without paying for it & then either pay for it or return it later.

Thats would be a good reason except:

A) she cut the security tags off and hid them
B) she also said she was just doing it for a movie part

so much for that defense.

I was simply explaining the policy.

She has lawyers to defend her.

she never said she was doing it for a movie, somebody else said that

Convicted on 2 out of 3

she is guilty, but not imo of a felony. i think she did shoplift but to charge her with a felony is crapola

The felony charge is based on the total dollar value of what was stolen.

Bahahahahaha I laugh at her. I have millions of dollars but I'll steal 5500 of clothing? That's just sad.
She'll only get a slap on the wrist.

*UPDATE!!!*

And the verdict is...

 

[cjchaps]

Quick! White people riot!

Linkatude.

Rundle said there been no evidence from the "director" who Ryder allegedly claimed had told her to shoplift in preparation for a movie role.

Heh. Nice try, Noni...

I was found with someone who was smoking pot once, but the school resource officer didn't see me partaking. And there wasn't even a book of matches on my person.

When the Dean of Students asked me just what had I been doing off campus with someone who was smoking pot, I told him that I was conducting an interview on how it felt to be high because I planned on writing a story about it.

It worked for me!

No way will she be found guilty with that jury.

Well, I'll be.

First the GOP takes control of the Senate and now this. Maybe there is some decency left in this country.

 

[Antisocial Virge]

it was 56 for guilty when the verdict was reached. Lets see how many people vote for guilty now

 

[StageLeft]

So what is the reasonable minimum sentence somebody can get? She won't be spending 3 years in jail per count. What's the easiest she can get off?

No evidence of "decency" found at this forum.

Ryder's attorney, Mark Geragos, portrayed the Oscar-nominated actress as the victim of a frame-up by security staff at Saks, accusing them of fabricating evidence and of giving testimony with "a multitude of inconsistencies."

Uh-huh! They probably hired an acadamy award winning actress who looked like Ryder to play her on the video tapes. Man, whoever they got was a damned good likeness.

probation and community service, at the most.
