[EDIT] If you disagree, I'd suggest you read a bit that Ken White has written about federal prosecutions. Basically if they really want you, they'll trip you up in interviews and charge you with lying to the FBI.
Related, from another article:
> a federal jury found Stewart, who maintained her innocence, guilty of conspiracy, obstruction and two counts of lying to federal investigators (a securities fraud charge was dismissed)
The original charge didn't stick, but they convicted on statements made to the FBI during the investigation.
This is just another reason to take the wargames advice when it comes to talking to the police:
> The only winning move is not to play.
Use your right to remain silent.

know: don't talk to police, period.
Anyhow, it belies the notion that privileged white people don't go to prison. I actually know someone who did, and it wasn't for some catchall gotcha charge.
I'm willing to put money on the line right now saying that Lizzie will go to prison.
