the judge has guidelines, set in place by law, for sentencing. it is up to the judge to use his/her discretion within those guidelines. many factors affect how a judge will sentence, including the public's response.
sure, envy may be a factor for some wanting to nail her ass to the wall, but, more importantly, she is still subject to the law, she knows the difference between right and wrong, and, for once, having a large bank account isn't going to exclude her from being subject to the same law as the rest of us non-privileged.
the fact of the matter is here is a grown -up spoiled little girl who believes she is above everyone and the law. she blatantly and repeatedly violated the law - without remorse or apology. criminals who lack remorse for what they've done get stiffer sentences. the judge recognized all this and sentenced her accordingly. she made her bed and now she must lie in it. (no pun.)
