Obviously, if she's still sitting in a jail cell, those things have either not gone well or fallen on deaf ears. Or she's just flat out had some pretty shitty attorneys.

So, to that end, I agree with someone who noted that it's a shame that the porn community (apparently) never bothered to chip in and get her a first rate lawyer to appeal and retry the case.

Interesting question: has anyone actually ever tried writing to her in jail to get an update or get more of the story, from her point of view?

Your first paragraph assumes there's been an appeal of some sort, which we don't know. See my last post...appeals are very time consuming and expensive, and can take years to complete. An unfortunate fact of the legal system, but very true.
