She had harmed SO many people and blown through the billion dollars she raised through her lies. She needs to serve her time like anyone else.

Iām glad she started serving her sentence. It will be really hard for her kids to spend 11 years visiting her in jail.
I suspect she will be transferred to the facility in California when there is space.

I guess I sound judgmental saying this. Why did she have kids when she knew she was going to prison? I really donāt understand that part.

She was trying to game the system as always and never thought theyād ever actually put her in prison

You donāt understand because you would never use getting pregnant and having children as a pawn to think it would keep you out of prison.

@deb922 I admit it crossed my cynical mind.
@HImom By the time the second kid came around, it was pretty clear, wasnāt it? There will be very limited bonding with the baby. I wonder how that will work out.
There are tons of babies wirh one or both parents incarcerated. I think if Holmes had any conscience she wouldnāt have done this to her H or kids but by her prior actions, itās pretty clear she does everything to benefit herself.
Maybe she wanted her hubby to think of her and not decide to find another spouse while sheās in prison for 11 years?

She got married in late 2019, when she was being investigated by the Feds. At that time she should have known she was almost certainly going to be indicted and likely getting jail time if convicted.
The whole image makeover cited in OPās article - āIām just a suburban wife and momā - seems to have been planned from way back.

I do think she believed sheād never go to prison, but also that if she ever wanted children she had to have them when she did. Sheās 39, so it wouldnāt be possible to wait until she got out of prison.
Sheās definitely not special. I read that 60% of women in prison have (young?) children. Iām not sad for her, but I am for her children. I donāt now if her husband will take the children every weekend, or move closer to her prison, or buy a condo in the area, but it will definitely be a change to the way those babies are living.

Holmesā H had to have had SOME idea of what he was in for when he met and married her, after all the notoriety. He was a willing partner in creating the children and Iām sure he will hire nannies, as he would have if Holmes was not in jail.
Holmes doesnāt strike me as maternal at allāsheās a narcissist from all Iāve read of her and totally ruthless. The kids are probably better off having limited contact with her toxicism.

I donāt think either of them ever thought sheād go to prison. No one thought Martha Stewart would go to prison. No one thought the Varsity Blues parents would go to prison.

Do people really think her husband is likely to āstand by herā if sheās in prison for the full time? I suspect he will get tired of it and move on.
she can run a āchance meā thread as to whether heāll remain faithfully married for 10 yearsā¦50/50 odds at best
With her in jail for 11years, his family will have a chance to get him some excellent therapy and hopefully a divorce.

I didnāt realize heās only 30 years old. Waiting 10 years for someone at such a young age might be more than heās up to, depending. I guess time will tell.
It will probably come down how often sheās able to communicate with him. Her whole power over people is the ability to manipulate them. Sheāll need regular verbal communication to keep control of him.
Do we know if they are for sure truly married? Not that it matters, but the reports are mixed.
I saw one report that ācalls and facetime (type) communications were allowed and weekend visitsā but no idea if those are unlimited.
Cell phones are still illegal in most US prisons. Iād expect prisons would have strict rules about communications with outside world but donāt have first-hand knowledge and suspect there are variations among prisons.
