from the article: " The mother has an earlier conviction for uttering and publishing." .. can anyone translate that?
Uttering or uddering?
Any person who utters and publishes as true any false, forged, altered or counterfeit record, deed, instrument or other writing specified, knowing it to be false, altered, forged, or counterfeit, with intent to injure or defraud is guilty of uttering and publishing.
She used to post on Democrat Underground? (or wrote bad checks).
Theses are legal terms. "Uttering" refers to spoken slander and "publishing" refers to printed slander.
She passed worthless checks.
