She was never brought to book about what happened under the island..where the children were sacrificed and eaten..pictures of entrails..naked people eat on buckets child on table etc
Does she deserve a death sentence for this?
I agree. Everyone saying this was a huge win and more is coming. I guess i just dont understand how legal proceedings work then because i diddnt see ANY mention of the black book or client names. Do plea deals happen in the court room or in an interrogation room? Is everything about that island going to get memory holed because the two owners are dead and in jail? You cant file a lawsuit against an island. Can she cooperate more with authorities while shes in prison down the line?
Please deals happen between the prosecuting attorney and the defendant & their attorney, not in font of the judge & jury. And usually they happen only if the defendant agrees to do something in return ie squeal on all the others.
Death sentence? Not necessarily; you don't get her to roll on people if you're just going to kill her anyway. What's the point?
So you kill Ghislaine for her actions, which were only one part of the whole. What do you get? You get a temporary sense of justice, a "win", but then the rest go free to continue on with the activities.
No, deals are necessary. Even "no deals" doesn't make sense. You have to dangle a carrot to get evil people to roll over and assist with stopping the larger problem. Ultimately they only care about themselves.
So in the absence of rolling over on everyone involved, yes she deserves the death sentence. But in stopping the greater evils perpetrated by those in high positions across the country (world), you have to grant the ability for her to save her life but still get an extreme punishment.
People are forgetting that squealing carries the Clinton Death Sentance (by Arkanicide). The court merely gave ol' Side o' Beef a 20 year opportunity (when only 20 days or less would really be needed).
Normally that's true, but when Patriots are in control precautionary measures are taken.
good point
I think "no deals" pertains to those who continue to play the game, not those that turn the cheek and assist nor those who were controlled through threats or extortion on their families.
If deals are in play I would think not ruining your entire name and cursing any offspring along with it is one of the most compelling deals on the table.
Tbh it's why this movie is so exciting, we don't know what the biggest motivators are of all the players and some will be looked at as evil while have actually been heroes and vis versa there will be some we thought were Patriots but instead deceivers.
As for Ghislaine, there are a lot of sealed cases out there and these people were connected worldwide and at the highest levels. People can do their own math, this is not over.
The things with names and offspring -- there are a lot of these evil people who don't have any offspring, and their names only matter insofar as power. If they're being killed anyway, then their name isn't worth saving to them.
You're probably right that deals are being handed out to those who help stop the game -- though probably not those who simply decide to back out.
