...however she did quietly voice a concern to Magistrate Judge Lurana S. Snow: ``I don't have my privacy.''That was Jeffrey Dahmer's complaint as well.
This nation needs more voodooists from Haiti for the sake of diversity.

well- if she had been busted trying to bring a human skull that was inside of a living, breathing, un-documented, laborer, she would just have to "register" it, pay a fine, and teach it English...

What about the privacy of the person who's skull she had ? Nothing more private than the shape of ones skull.

Who knows where that skull was before this voodoo queen got her hands on it.
Hope she washes her hands before eating.

Woman Carrying Voodoo Skull Agrees To Plead Guilty
Plea Deal On State Charge Would Help Woman Avoid Deportation
BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A woman who was arrested after a human skull was found in her luggage has agreed to a plea deal that might keep her from being deported to Haiti. Myrlene Severe's case has proved complicated for prosecutors because she says that she was carrying the skull for protection as part of a voodoo ritual. Her lawyer said that she had no criminal intent and the skull was strictly to be used for protection as part of her religion.
Severe was on Lynx International Airlines Flight 203 from Haiti on Feb. 9 when customs officials examined her luggage and found the skull in a rice bag filled with grass, banana leaves, dirt, rocks and an iron nail. She had not declared in her paperwork to enter the country that the skull was in her luggage.
Severe, who lives in Miramar, is a Haitian national who has permanent residency status in the U.S. Her attorney said she is seeking citizenship.
If a federal judge agrees to the plea deal, Severe will plead guilty to a misdemeanor state charge of illegal storage with a maximum penalty of one year in prison. If she had been arraigned on federal charges, she could have been sentenced to up to 15 years in prison.
After a hearing Friday, Severe said she wants to be left alone and get her privacy back. She has expressed anger about reporters trying to question her regarding the case. Severe's lawyer said if she is allowed to plead guilty to the state charge, she will stand a better chance of not being deported.
At a hearing on April 13, Severe will find out if a federal judge will approve the deal.

"Severe, who has practiced Vodou since childhood, is a priestess in her native Haiti and in South Florida, her attorney Kenneth Hassett said." She was on her way to Hillary's place to do a voodo ritual. It was a "freebee" since the last one didn't work so well for Bubba.
Thanks to the Clinton's that evil cult is cosidered a 'religion".
To: eeevil conservative
Your sarcasm is very timely, very funny, and sadly, very true.
To: FerdieMurphy
As a priestess, she should have claimed diplomatic immunity.

intentionally smuggling a human head into the U.S. and not having the proper paperwork when is the last time someone 'unintentionally' smuggled one in?
or got a ticket for it?
Now how did that get in MY golf bag?

But prosecutors agreed to change the charge to a seldom-used misdemeanor statute. Don't you just love this?

The deal puts Severe - who is a legal U.S. resident but a citizen of Haiti - in the best position possible in terms of avoiding deportation. Can we at least deport the head?
To: Kirkwood
It's easy to understand the light sentence.
The judge didn't want this priestess to begin sticking pins in a rag doll replica.

I guess she has learned a valuable lesson. In the future, the human ritual skulls have to be USA born and died corpses. She should ask the court to specify what the proper storage devise should be to avoid future misunderstandings.
To: FerdieMurphy
I love voodoo music. I bought a CD of voodoo music at a South Florida "botanica" religious store, and I love it.
Nevertheless, this lady needs to update her religious practices. A plastic skull is enough to guard off the evil spirits. . . or a plastic Jesus on a dashboard

In the future, the human ritual skulls have to be USA born and died corpses.Actually she can get all the corpses she needs in order to collect their skulls. She could just peruse the DemocRAT voting records. That party knows where all the bodies are buried because they're still voting.
Probably they're the zombies.
