| Fayceless said: Just so everyone is clear: she WAS found guilty on four counts of lying to police. The jury could have found her guilty of manslaughter, but they did not. My guess is since there was no solid evidence linking her to her daughters death, they felt they could not find her guilty of that. She'll get up to a year for each count of lying. But as she's already been in for 3 years, time served will limit that to 1 year tops, probably. |
But false info is such a slap on the wrist sort of crime. She could do three years for them (at the descretion of the judge) but if so, it's only because the judge felt she needed to be punished. I've seen people walk out of the courtroom without doing a day in jail for false information. One thing that I'm hoping is that her previous charges (the jury wasn't allowed to hear them since they had no bearing on this case) of stealing her best friends credit cards are still pending. Hopefully she'll be found guilty and does some time for that.
