Marion Jones was sentenced today to 6 months in jail for lying about her steroid use. The judge sentenced Jones despite her plea that he not separate her from her children, "even for a short period of time." "I ask you to be as merciful as a human being can be," she said. She actually got off easy! Considering the money laundering charges against her. Judge Karas hinted that he was focused on incarceration when he asked the lawyers to advise him about whether he could go beyond the six-month maximum that was suggested in her plea deal. He also wanted to know whether he could sentence Jones separately for the steroids and check fraud convictions. Both sides advised against it. He had it in for her. I'll keep her in my prayers!
