She won't. The defense counsel, judge, jury, even the prosecutors. They all know what the consequences of even a very short jail sentence would mean for that woman. So she was spared that ultimate indignity. But, not to worry, there is a bright side. The next time someone even less worthy and socially disposable comes before that judge for some minor quality of life offense we can all be comforted in knowing that they will receive the longest sentence possible under mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines.
