Will this go down in the analls of history as the 'Kimby Kaper'

Don't know, but she's certainly getting Pampered treatment!

I said this a couple of months ago, and I will say it again: This woman is not going to get a day of jail time. Her attorney will make her look sympathetic, besides, there was no actual 'kidnapping', as most people think of it. The victim got nailed with pepper spray, and for just about anyone with a clean record, there's a strong chance of mere probation anyway, especially if the perpetrator is female.

But her attorney will pull out the 'astronaut hero' card, and further point out that for the rest of her life, she will have to suffer the label 'diaper astronaut', with all the attendant humiliation. He will argue that she's already suffered enough, given the public flogging, and being drummed out of the astronaut corps with its first 'dishonorable discharge'.

Not one day in jail. Mark my words.

In other words, it is a foregone conclusion the defense has all but poo-pooed the notion she deserves punishment?

lets face it.....no harm was actually done....there are convicted child molesters and rapists out on probation by lenient judges...

I think the public gets its jollies over these stupid...although serious...crimes.....

her normal life is over....her space career and her military career...I suspect she will be in major therapy for some time....hope she recovers to realize her mistake....
