She had no idea that being convicted of a felony followed by long term imprisonment might affect his life! It just never occurred to her! A person can't know everything!
Coast has to pay $90,000 in restitution to Montgomery.
And the odds of him collecting a cent are... ?
The now 23-year-old will be locked up every weekend for the next seven months.
It was really really hard for her to work this into her busy schedule, but with the judge's help, she did it!
Coast says, “I never forgot, I never forgot about Jonathan. It wrecked my life.”
"My life." Vanity, thy name is Elizabeth Coast.
Why don't we just make it official that false accusation of rape is no longer a crime in Feminist America?
Sounds like she's been taking lessons from C.A.I.R.: commit the crime, then claim victimhood while shedding alligator tears.
4 years vs 30 weekends is supposed to be justice? Especially so, when one considers that those "weekends" are (in many jurisdictions) "in late; out early", and counted like Biblical regnal year counts: part of a day is counted as a full day. Cumulatively, it adds up to one heck of a lot less than 60 consecutive days in the slammer.
5 or 6 hours Friday evening; full 24 hours Saturday; 8-12 hours Sunday, a total of 40 hours giving 2 (sometimes 3) full days credit. Notice how much of that is sack time. That gives her an automatic 240 hour/10 day reduction of time actually spent in jail, minimum, (more if it's a 3-day credit) before any "good time" is subtracted. What a deal!
And I'll bet the restitution is paid at about the same rate Tawana Brawley is "paying off" her order.
Apparently not.
