Excerpt...
Her travels may be over, but Wilbanks' troubles may have just begun. Gwinnett County District Attorney Danny Porter said he was examining evidence for a possible charge of making false statements to a government agency.
Sartain believes that's not necessary.
"She is deeply regretful of the pain she caused her family, her fiancé, her friends and the community who rallied to her aid," the lawyer said Wednesday. "I believe Jennifer committed no crime."
Arrests for shoplifting
Sartain, a former Hall County district attorney, knows her client. Court records show that Wilbanks was arrested three times in that county on shoplifting charges from 1996 to 1998.
In 1996, as district attorney, Sartain prosecuted Wilbanks for allegedly shoplifting $1,740 in merchandise from a Gainesville mall, court records show. Sartain dropped the felony charge after Wilbanks, then 24, completed a pretrial diversion program, the records show. Wilbanks performed 75 hours of community service and paid restitution, according to court records.
Months before that felony arrest, police had charged Wilbanks with misdemeanor shoplifting for allegedly taking $37.05 in merchandise from a Gainesville Wal-Mart. Court records show that officials dismissed the case after Wilbanks completed "Project Turnabout," a six-week counseling program for shoplifters.
She was arrested again, city court records show, in April 1998, when Wilbanks, then 25, was charged with shoplifting $98 worth of merchandise from a store. She pleaded guilty and served two weekends in jail. A judge also sentenced her to probation, a $400 fine and 50 hours of community service.
I wonder if the groom to be even knew anything about Jennifer's past?! He may be reassessing his options.
That boy ain't right neither. You can look at him and tell.
She'd rip off Ruth's Chris for all they've got!
LOL! That's only the times that she was caught!
And here I thought I was the only one ;-)
For nearly a week we were inculcated with the cannonization of Jennifer - now it seems she was a pilfering whore.
How compassionate.
Post of the day!
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
But she's pretty in a nutjob kind of way.
LOL sorry to hear about your luck.

Nothing more need be said...
Don't you see: she was born again so the prior shoplifting and sex doesn't count.
Her actions betray a narcissistic drama queen, who is need of punishment.
I think it had been five years for him. It was stated that he cleaned up his way of life and became celibate for his future wife. I dunno how long he had been dating the women he's(was) now with.
Oh PULLEASE!
That chin alone reminds of the BALCO scandel.
Many if us thought her a kook. At least the dude should have slowed down. It is not PC to say so. Although Levin went after her. You gotta admit THAT was funny.
Boy if that isn't an understatement. I really think they were made for each other. LOL
Wow -- what a mess, his "virgin" bride. A criminal record. Sweet thang she is, huh?
