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.
RUN JOHN, RUN!
No wonder she was planning to have a black dress wedding.
That's when the investigators asked her if they could stop looking for the blue van. lol!
So she was stealing sex toys?
She's either kinky or crazy.

"That boy is a meathead."
According to the interview Hannity did with John, John says the Media got it wrong about them living together.
He has a house in Duluth, whereas she was from Gainesville. (They have neither been living together for five years nor engaged for five years. I got the impression they have not known each other for five years, either.) Anyway, only quite recently, according to John, she began moving some of her stuff and furnishings, decorations, etc. into his home in advance of the wedding. He said that on a few occasions she spent the night there because she was there late in the evening anyway.
And she was there the evening she went jogging. So the Media reported that it was the home they shared. John said no, it was the home they were getting ready to share. He told Sean that they had not lived together in that sense, and that it was his decision, due to his religious beliefs that such a relationship belongs in marriage.
I only report to you what John told Sean.
One thing for sure, the Media can and very often does, get things wrong.
I think it is up to 50% in Manhattan of the cases go like this. She should be treated as a rapist.
Julia Roberts has some bizarre features too, but I'd still let her drive my truck.
I might not let her into the gun-case though.
Oooh, very sublime.
Oh my!
I say, set a new date and send out the invitations. Let's see what happens.

Looks like it was a breech birth.
Don't do the crime if your neighbors have cable ande/or satellite.
I think they both have some issues was a basis for a successful marriage.
was equals what
And what did she think about his decision? Sounds like she had a different opinion...
The more I hear, the more I think they should get married on the Jerry Springer show.
