Arguing rather a law is either right or relevent is not relevent in this case. The law exists and she broke it.

Au contraire. When this country was founded, a little thing called jury nullification was a welcome part of the system. It was used so the jury of peers could overcome the stupidity of the ruling/bureaucratic class. It's only in the last few 70 or so years that jury nullification has become the legal standard.

If I was on this woman's jury, nullification would certainly be in order. We have literally millions of state and federal laws, and a whole bunch of them are asinine.

And now she's a convicted felon and a sex offender. Hardly a slap on the wrist.
