Just gonna plonk this here. Wish I knew how to trim it down :S

** She\'s probably got a significantly longer sentence than [[spoiler:Adrian Andrews]], since the latter was a civilian who [[spoiler: framed a guilty man for the crime he committed and had an extremely sympathetic psychological profile which included a suicide attempt due to something the guy did earlier]]. Lana Skye was a high ranking detective and eventually Chief Prosecutor who [[spoiler:framed a man for a crime he \'\'didn\'t\'\' commit, getting him executed. Certainly he was guilty of other equally heinous crimes but they could only pin the one she falsified evidence and testimony on, so in that instance she essentially committed murder from a legal standpoint]]. Especially egregious since she did it to [[spoiler:protect her sister\'s feelings from knowing that she committed something that was flat out said to not actually be a crime in the first place]], and that she ended up [[spoiler:letting the real killer get away for two years by closing the case early]]. Not to mention that she allowed [[spoiler:two good cops to have their careers ruined and put all the cases tried under her term as Chief Prosecutor into question since she was being blackmailed to make things smoother for a corrupt chief of police.]] Oh, and in the furtherance of that crime, she aided in [[spoiler: the murder of a detective]] after the fact, as well as actively [[spoiler: helping to frame a prosecutor for the crime and allowing another cop to be framed for the murder as well, by one of the police officers whose careers she ruined]]. So yeah, while Edgeworth would have been inclined towards giving her leniency, there would probably be a lot of political pressure and public outcry against it due to the sheer amount of corruption revealed in that case, and she seemed very guilt-ridden about the entire thing so she might not even try to take advantage of any connections she might have left.

Nevermind that, seeing all the spoilers I\\\'m just going to delete it.
