The paint read "Clean hands dirty $" and the fountain was filled with bubbles.

Charges in a complaint are merely allegations, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Nothing she did deserves ten years.

Looking forward to a little jury nullification here.

Give her community service and time served.

That is justice.

JUSTICE...Remember that?

Given the current climate and Pedo47's lust for punishment, I have to say I think she was an absolute moron to poke the bear, as it were.
You see what he tried to do to the guy that didn't do anything, then go vandalize a National Monument(and WHY that one?) that you know is under surveillance and then broadcast it??
I can see why KY ranks so low in the Education rankings.

All that said, does that call for 10 years? No.
More like scrubbing it all off with a toothbrush and some other crap jobs for awhile.

Mostly, it just really annoys me that she's giving Pirro such a slam dunk of a case.

I really have no issue with 10years.

@#6 ... I have to say I think she was an absolute moron to poke the bear, as it were. ...

... and so blatantly at that.

I'm not in agreement with the 10 years, but I will say there should be some punishment.
