As I said, I would've looked the other way if they found some way to hyper inflate any number of petty charges just to give her something.
The woman needing to live with herself isn't sufficient punishment to me. She doesn't strike me as the type that feels any guilt from it. |
i agree with you.. and perhaps (hopefully) they will find another way to punish her.
my first reaction when reading about this was also WTF..
(actually it still is)
The worst thing about the law is that it not only protects the innocent but also the guilty, especially in cases like this.
I have a hard time understanding a lot about legal issues in the USA and how ppl get off scott free when they obviously need to be punished .. just because of things like this or because of previous cases when x=y.
