Hard to be sure, but might be very not guilty with the right lighting.
Make her serve the rest of her sentence in maximum security.
She clearly has learned zero life lessons.
Maybe John Kerry will visit her.
Mmmm, have to say not sure how I feel about this one. Lots of resources spent on punishing someone for a drug charge. Yes, I know it is for escape. I just can’t help wondering why they could find her but not all of the illegals in the area.
I’m as hard on crime as anyone but, frankly, if I were the Governor of Michigan, I’d give this woman a pardon or commutation. Do we really want to send a fifty-something mother to jail for a decade or more over three and a half decade old drug charges?
I don’t.
Hard to be sure, but might be very not guilty with the right lighting.
Wow indeed a 20 year sentence for a 19 year old on a drug sting?
I wouldn’t be the lest upset if she was turned loose. What occurred was years ago and as her life has been above reproach nothing to be served by sending her to jail.
Sounds like she confided in someone she thought was a friend.
It was the evil SUV that gave her away to the nanny fascist police.
She must be punished.
Most drug use laws are a giant waste of time, money and resources. If you want to take drugs and die, that’s your business. Selling or harming another person in the process, that’s a different matter.
Give her a check for half and tell her we'll call it even......
She got the maximum sentence of 20 years in a brokered plea deal? She was 19 years old with no prior record? I can’t blame her for running.
People on the bench who do things like that should be the ones sent to prison.
It’s a waste incarcerating a drug user. Nonviolent drug offenders should not be in jail.
I pray that the courts show mercy to this woman, by reducing her sentence to time served plus community service, and that her husband and family can forgive her.
Michigander in the pen ping.
I believe in rule of law, but I also don't believe there is any such thing as a "victimless crime" and I don't believe possession and use hurts anyone besides the idiot killing their own brain cells.
Flame away
Take her back.
Book her into the county joint for a day or three.
Then grant her 20 years time off for 32 years of good behavior with no repeat offenses, and release her to go back home to the hubby and kids.
Just don’t tell her that’s the plan up front; let her sweat it out for 72 hours or so.
After all this time living clean on the outside, I think all that’d be punishment enough.
Guess it’s time to celebrate another great victory in the ever-more-worthwhile War on Drugs.
If her story is true, I would commute her sentence as time served in full. She and her family suffered all this time for a ridiculously long sentence on a drug conviction.
Evil everywhere you look!
