San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 8/18/04 | Associated Press

A Claremont McKenna College psychology professor was convicted Wednesday of falsely reporting her car was vandalized and spray-painted with racist and anti-Semitic slurs while she was speaking at a campus forum on racial tolerance.

Kerri Dunn, 39, of Redlands was convicted of one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report and two felony counts of attempted insurance fraud. She faces up to 31/2 years in prison when she is sentenced Sept. 17.

Her attorney, Gary S. Lincenberg, issued a statement saying Dunn would appeal the attempted insurance fraud convictions.

31 years is clearly too harsh,

When the article said "31/2 years", I think it's a poorly-rendered attempt at writing "three and a half years".

NO -- SHE spray-painted her own car. Two students watched her and reported it. It may have been caught on tape as well. hahahahaha.

Two credible witnesses saw her flatten her own tires in the parking lot. The police and insurance company found holes in her story. She has a history of shoplifting, false accusation, impersonation, perjury, self-mutilation for gain.

Sounds like her real problem is being a compulsive drama-queen.

My bet is that she'll get off with probation, then be rehired to her old job.

Like any other self-respecting Democrat she was just milking the system to keep herself employed.

Without hate, she is nothing. So she does what she can to perpetuate it.

Probation, a small fine, and community service.
I mean, assuming the judge is a scumbag, too.

None of the drama queens I've known were habitual law breakers, although I'm sure there are plenty Kerri Dunns walking around. Whatever the court winds up doing with her, this convicted felon needs to be escorted out of the legal profession in a hurry.

"I lived in Claremont for 8 happy years (though I was greatly outnumbered by liberals). The likelihood of any kind of hate crime happening there is slim to none. But among the faculty there, the likelihood of something bizarre like this is pretty high."

It amazes me what those Claremont students choose to go to pieces over. Virtually every day in Los Angeles there are kids getting shot in drivebys, women getting stalked and raped, men being stabbed and shot, and all sorts of people getting crushed and mangled in car crashes. But what makes Claremont college students break down and wail is the sight of a spray-painted epithet on a beat up old Honda! I think the curriculum committee there ought to thinking about toughening up the courses at Claremont. These kids obviously have too much time on their hands.

I lived in Claremont for 8 happy years (though I was greatly outnumbered by liberals).

I put in three at Mudd and concur. Anybody who thinks that the five colleges constitute a conservative campus is smoking something.
