“The criminal justice system takes a very heavy hand when a criminal is a notable person, whether it is someone who appears on television, is an athlete, or is known to the general public. “I often believe that, and unfortunately, the criminal justice system often tries to set an example for such individuals.
Leonard Jr. also said that time behind bars can be “very difficult” for celebrities.
“It’s very difficult being away from the people you love,” he told Fox News Digital.
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star Jen Shah will find out about her fate later this week.

“These victims were sold false promises of financial security, but instead the Shah and her co-conspirators defrauded their savings and left them with nothing to show for it.” “This office is committed to eradicating these schemes in any form.”
