        I'm careful with this story. I feel like it's incomplete and we're missing a piece of info. If not, it's preposterous. For now, I'm waiting.

        This is what I'm saying abt whether she deserves jail. We don't know all the details.

        I agree. Without knowing the situation we can't really judge. (though ppl love to do that). But as it's framed, the response is normal.

        But this is the point I'm making really. If she was less talented, prison ok?https://twitter.com/lotakx/status/864544700644118528 …

        For someone not to go to jail, the circumstances have to be extraordinary. Being very smart and talented is not one of them.

        No. Talent should hold no significance whatsoever. The law is the law. responsibility is the talent that matters.

        She should go to jail and that judge should get replaced. That's extremely stupid.

        Not sure about losing the plot, but surely stabbing people is a pretty useful qualification for a surgeon?

        I'd say a suspended prison sentence (plus some other stuff) might make sense but she's probably not even getting that!

        Ridiculous decision. Lock her up, then deal with the consequences of her actions on her career once she's released.
