I'm completely failing to see a crime here other than "actions that damage the image of the Democratic Globohomo Party".
She was convicted of "conspiracy". Conspiracy to what? Where I live, laws are based entirely on the value of the item- your neighbor cut down 100-year-old tree that was the centerpiece of your landscaping? You're only going to recover the value of the lumber in court, they give zero fucks about the impossibility of replacing it or the intangible value of the thing. So what is the going market value for a diary that someone has already filled out?
This is off topic, but can they not determine how much less the property would sell for without the tree and use that to calculate damages? I swear I've heard of cases where they did exactly that.
The other part is definitely fair. It also raises a few questions. How can there be any "conspiracy" about selling an old diary? Are they not admitting that the content of the diary is true with this move?
