Absolute moralists call for retribution, insisting that she pay her debt to society, literally, reimbursing several states for all the money the cops spent trying to find her.

She should do this, but she should also serve time for lying about the kidnapping and rape. She is a liar and a criminal, and should be treated as such.

Jennifer Wilbanks should walk. There is no reason the government has to step in and put a band-aid every societal boo-boo. Sometimes people to stupid irresponsible things that cause inconvenience to others. Big deal.

The real fault here is in the town of Duluth. Their police chief, mayor, and prosecutor have been on Sean Hannity so much, I think he is going to offer them a long-term contract. There is simply no reason for public officials to be jockeying around to garner TV and radio time. If the police had just handled this in a routine fashion, and issued a series of curt "no comment"'s into any microphone shoved in their faces, this whole thing would have amounted to nothing at all.

Should Jennifer Wilbanks have to pay because every other person in Duluth is a star-struck media whore?

Have you seen the stories about Miss Wilbanks criminal record? She has a couple of felony shoplifting convictions. This woman is a nutcase and needs to pay for tying up emergency personnel when there was no emergency.

This story just will not go away. Yesterday I read somewhere that unnamed friends of Miss Willbanks claim she has been sex starved for several years. Apparently her fiance wanted to wait until marriage before consecrating the relationship and this bothered her because she wanted to have sex. If I am to believe this she waits until the eve of her wedding to freak out about the lack of sex. I mean if she waited four years for sex what the hell is wrong with waiting four more days. Also, I read she is a born again Christian but that didn't stop her from getting breast implants.

I agree that the felony shoplifting charges are very disturbing. She wasn't a 15 year old trying to rip off some costume jewelry. She was busted with over $1700 worth of stolen items. I like to say she needs professional help but the "counseling" industry has so many nut cases within its ranks that by turning to them for guidance may be the worst thing she could do.

I believe I have said enough on this ridiculous story.

This would not be her first criminal conviction. Wilbanks should now do HARD TIME. We are talking about 1 year in a hungry beaver colony.

A question for those who think there should be no consquences. How do you justify a punishment for the prank of pulling a fire alarm for kicks if you rationalize that what Jennifer did should be okay?
