Orlando, FL (AHN) - A former astronaut pleaded guilty to burglary of a conveyance and misdemeanor battery Tuesday to receive a two-day sentence at the Orange County Jail plus one year probation.
Lisa Marie Nowak, 46, made the plea and promised to write a letter of apology in exchange for the dropping of serious charges of burglary with assault, kidnapping and battery of Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman in 2007.
Orange County Circuit Judge Marc Lubet said his lenient sentence was in consideration of the fact that Nowak did not have a criminal record and had an exemplary service as an astronaut and in the Navy.
The sentence stemmed from Nowak's attack of Shipman at the parking lot of Orlando International Airport because the latter was dating her former lover, Bill Oefelein. The incident became a media sensation for almost three years.
According to everything I read, she was planning on killing the victim. And so she only gets 2 days and 1 year probation???? THIS IS NUTS!
Did they enter the diapers into evidence?
She is the inspiration for a new ad:
Depends—when you absolutely, positively have to get there overnight!
Unreal. There’s little doubt Nowak would have murdered Capt. Shipman had she been just a bit less wary.
I see a “Cannonball Run” remake of sorts coming soon to the Liftime network.
wack or no wack?

I hope that Lisa Marie Nowak has truly repented and no longer poses a threat to Capt. Colleen Shipman.
She has the ultimate "Get out of jail free" card.
A vagina.
Just ask Mary Winkler.
Have you ever worn a piddle pack?
Don’t pay your insurance — go to jail.
Plan to kill someone — get two days.
Please tell me when this world starts to make sense again.
not yet
Well, I have one, but I’m certainly not going to murder somone and hope it’s my ‘free pass,’ LOL!
Take a life? Give your life. Any questions? ;)
She looks like Fred Gwynn, LOL!
On short hauls you just learn to hold it. On long hauls you learn to pee in a baggie if you can get the straps and harness to cooperate. We learned to use “depends” in our squadron because it was safer than squirming all over the cockpit and having to deal with a bag of pee.
Without the diapers, and with a TLC film crew, she could be hittable - but a nearby paper bag might be in order......but at least she doens't have that Sally Ride/Ellen Degenrous look about her.
At least she's a pork lover....
