“Was offered a plea deal for 15 years.....with time served it would have been less than 10. “

So the prosecutor didn’t think she was guilty of a crime worth a life sentence.

What are people who are falsely/mistakenly accused supposed to do?

I’ve come to think that lawfare is waged at a much lower level than most people think...and more often.

Man In A Suitcase - The Police

I’d invite you back to my place
It’s only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks home to me alright
But it’s a hundred miles from yesterday night

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face

Another key for my collection
For security, I race for my connection
Bird in a flying cage, you’ll never get to know me well
The world’s my oyster, a hotel room’s a prison cell

Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face

I’d invite you back to my place
It’s only mine because it holds my suitcase
It looks like home to me alright
But it’s a hundred miles from yesterday night
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase
Is it me, the man with the stranger’s face
Must I be the man in a suitcase

No he was 5’1”. Check out the article. The story she’s going with was it was a drunken game with her bf. I think that got seriously undercut, given how when he was able to get his hand out, she hit it with a bat repeatedly till he drew it back

15 minus 4 for time served, minus 3 for good behavior yields 8?

My late father was a circuit judge in Orange and Osceola counties, Florida, for more than two decades, which included several years of major criminal cases. The craziest cases usually involved defendants who declined a good plea deal and insisted on taking their chances at trial because they thought they had a great story that would keep them out of prison.

This really *is* a case of carry on luggage. Trippy:

Believing he would be able to get out of the suitcase himself, she said she went upstairs to sleep, leaving him inside for the night and finding him dead the next day.

In the videos, what she did looks more like 1st degree murder.

She should have gotten death penalty, imho.

I watched a few minutes of her speaking at the sentencing portion of the case, and had to shut it off. She was talking about how she suffered & forgave the victim...

They have the idea that people who "show remorse" will quietly take their punishment and not kill again while those who think they "did nothing wrong" are a continual danger to society and should be kept locked up.

They are right on the second part and oh so very wrong on the first.

Probably good old Samsonite or American Tourister, not these flexible plastic zipper duffel bags they make now.

What really sux is the criminal corruption of our so called justice system.
The extortion that says plead guilty to make easy for us or go to hell.
