LOL!

[piperpilot]

That'll really open her eyes now

ROFL, as if they could open any wider! I want to see the mug shot of old doe eyes.

Do you think she'll make bail?

[Ikemeister]

I think that making false statements to a police officer is a felony. Filing a false report is a misdemeanor.

[Unknown Freeper]

She should be charged. I don't understand the jurisdiction regarding some of the charges though. How is it that the GA have jurisdiction when she made the calls in a different state? Did she say the same thing to the GA authorities that she had said in her initial calls? Is it because both jurisdictions had resources looking for her?

So... is the wedding still on?

Wilbanks was indicted on one count of making false statements, a felony, and one count of falsely reporting a crime, a misdemeanor, the district attorney said.

The penalty for the felony charge is 1 to 5 years behind bars; the misdemeanor carries a sentence of up to 12 months in confinement, according to Porter.

Since when is it a crime to have a expensive wedding?

Ridiculous: Yes

A crime? Absolutely Not

Is she considered a flight risk?

What about the crime of an ridiculously expensive wedding?

Being on the service end of "ridiculously expensive" weddings. The money goes to people who work hard for it, but enjoy being part of something big too.

"...when asked for a reaction to her indictment, Ms. Wilbanks responded with 'no comment.'"

Hannity doesn't need thge family for exclusives anymore, he will throw them under the bus.

That picture is priceless.

[Aquinasfan]

Good. Book her Danno.

[theophilusscribe]

Was Carville invited to the wedding?

[microgood]

I think this is a waste of money. Murderers only get a few years these days and this show trial will cost the taxpayer tens of millions.

[steveegg]

Wake me up if she's convicted.
