    She got what she deserved. I don't sympathise and have never sympathised with her in the slightest. She did a stupid thing willingly, she got caught, and now she has to serve a sentence. Interested to see how this show will pan out...

    she had to serve a sentance , i dont think she should have gotten off scott free , im saying on merit , the sentance was extremely harsh

    Anyone caught using, selling and importing especcially the drug lords should be dealt harshly.

    I hate anyone and anything to do with drugs.

    Who leaves home at 16 these accounts all seem very weird they're going on about.


    All I keep hearing is mommy mommy, mummy mummy :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Did someone have a gun to her head:rolleyes:

    Why was her mummy as they keep saying... keep funding her

    You must hate having to walk to work past all those pubs and shops selling smokes so. How many drug lords did Michaela import? Six I think it was

    using that arguement , you could defend the amputation of limbs in saudi arabia

    " well thats how they punish crime over there "

    I wouldn't defend it but then, I wouldn't go shoplifting in Saudi Arabia either.

    Are the family making arrangements to pay back the half dozen or so idiots that contributed to her defence fund?

    I fly to work.

    I fully understand the argument drink and smokes are drugs but at that there is enough we don't need all this other crap that is destroying many many lives.

    On merit, I think it was relatively fair.

    Think of the lives destroyed by drug abuse and addiction and it almost seems lenient.

    Furthermore, if they came clean in the first place without concocting that cock and bull about they're lives being in danger, the sentence would more than likely been less.

    In fairness, is that not what families (especially mothers) are for?

    There always seems to be this silly ridiculous idea that anybody who's Irish can't possibly be guilty of any crimes committed abroad, and that it must be a "stitch-up". I remember Joe Duffy was cheerleading for Michaella's release shortly after she was arrested. Eejit.

    I don't really like the sisters attitude. She doesn't even know what actually happened. Not that she forgives her sister, she just doesn't care what she did.

    3 strike rule should be brought in.

    Drugs should hold a very high year sentence and Murder in Ireland should be minimum 30 years

    Attempted murder 20

    Prisoners should be made work and contribute to their upkeep.

    Food and basic essentials should be the only things they get.
    Bread and water for serious offenders.

    To a certain extent yes but the sister doesn't seem to care that she was trafficking drugs.

    1kg of cocaine in Peru costs less than $1000, the 11kg that the bought would have cost around $11000 to purchase. I find it hard to believe it would be a South American drugs cartel involved in such a trivial transaction.

    Of course, you do know that the 3 strike rule in CA had no effect on rates of commissions of crime. Sentences are not a deterrent, higher rates of detection are. You say you are aware of the negative effects of booze 'n' fags, but you're happy to let people drink drive and smoke themselves to death?


    "Once county-specific trends were controlled for, however, the deterrent and incapacitative effects of three-strikes legislation disappeared altogether."
