The Spin

Narrative A

Holmes, one of the century’s biggest fraudsters, has shown little genuine remorse for her lies, but now she gets rewarded by getting to serve her sentence in a cushy prison “camp” with minimum security. Considering the severity of her crimes, Holmes got off easy.

Narrative B

Holmes is the latest victim of the US' unfair federal justice system, which is far too strict and arbitrary. There was no mandatory minimum sentence in this case, and she was over-sentenced for wire fraud convictions. This sentence is way more punitive than it is rehabilitative.
