LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks is indicted with making a false statement and reporting a false crime.
Holy cat, Jenn's been indicted! What say you?
I suspect the towel was used to hide the hideous haircut. I can only imagine what mine would look like if I took a pair of scissor to it while on the run. ;-)
ROFL. That is so funny!
I just saw that. It's great.
Jail would require taking a cell away from someone who really needs to be in a cell.
It does kinda take the term "Perp Walk" to a new level, doesn't it?
Thank You...
Tens of millions?
I doubt it even goes to trial, and even if it does, it will not even cost $100,000 to try.
I'll be dipped. Took the DA quite awhile to bring the charge. Will be interesting to read the indictment. Think it'll proceed to trial or be plead down? I take "plead down."
Is it really good that this evidently frightened, immature, woman has been indicted?
Now her apparently well-to-do family will ante up for some high priced lawyers, and the prosecutors will, in their turn, spend plenty of taxpayer money doing their thing, and knowing that they will be in the national news spotlight, they will give this trifle plenty of personal attention, possibly giving more important matters less than their due.
And should the unfortunate woman be found guilty of a crime and be incarcerated, which is, I admit, unlikely, community service would be more probable, but if, as I say, she goes to jail, and the taxpayers bear a little more burden, when that money would certainly be better spent if it were never paid in taxes, then how, exactly, will society be better off by this ridiculous prosecution?
If it were possible for her to be brought before a judge, one with wisdom and mercy, who would try to make her aware of the gravity of what she had done,(and examine the factors which led her to do it) and then, before her family and members of her community, ask her to apologize, and have her apology to all who were directly involved, without the media spotlight, then I would agree with you that prosecution would be a good thing. However, as things now stand, this matter will be another that will bring shame on America's legal system, and give society no benefit at all.

And the People-Magazining of America continues apace.
I doubt there will be a trial. There will be a plea agreement.
Was this "new" painting being sold on eBay?

The news this morning said 'the family' had scraped together the $14,000 to reimburse the city/county for the overtime of the police. I think the court should require HER to pay the fine and not let her and his parents bail her out of this.
I see mommy and daddy are trying to work out a "deal" for her. No wander she keeps getting into problems, she keeps getting bailed out by mommy and daddy! She's 30something and still having mom and dad take care of her problems! She'll never learn!
