I think they should have taken her to Hattiesville...wonder who would feed her?

Had to be from California, probably worked a hundred times there.

We are trendsetters!

Law, what would you give her? Probation, 3months county?

If it was a first offense, 18 months bench probation, conditioned on no additional offenses of any kind and payment of full restitution of the costs of the investigation/arrest; some type of community service and a fine. At least the community gets something back rather than paying for a cot and 3 squares and her watching color tv for 3 months. If she had priors, then it depends on her record. But what do I know, I'm a liberal who happens to believe all the statistics that demonstrate incarceration is not a deterrent.

Law, your cooler than i thought.

If I were charged with a petty crime, I'd like to work it out where you would be both my defensive and prosecuting attorneys, that way I could be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Thanks, Deacon, I think.
Dog, it would be my pleasure to defend, prosecute and persecute you - and not necessarily in that order. :p

Law, serious. I thought you to be harder. My bad.

depends on the crime and the criminal - no one thing is right in every situation. I don't think that's a unique approach, I think most prosecutors would agree.
