“She also pleaded guilty to a single count of arson in the first degree. She will be sentenced later for the arson charge.”
They usually leave open the sentencing for a crime to keep them on good behavior through their probation period. If she’s a naughty girl they can throw the book at her during her arson sentencing effectively locking her away pending trial for parole violation, new charges, etc.
Mom’s basement just took on a huge liability. Like a $46,000 losing stock option with unlimited upside loss potential. Truth to power.
FWIW, I don’t think that’s why they’re waiting. OR apparently has mandatory minimum sentencing for first degree arson. Et they’re trying to find a way around it, or just outright intend to ignore it and let her walk when they hope nobody’s notice.
Bet she’s got connections.
Just a hunch.
I guess mom agreed to have this POS on probation in her now self styled half way house. The coppers should do unannounced searches there to ensure no violations like drug use or bomb making are present. If so violate the probation and send her to Mcneil island.
