Pic that does NOT make me LOL!
I remember this one. She was given 12 years and then she showed up for booking (after sentencing) with weed in her pocket and they tacked on another 2 years. Her mother was given a 30 year suspended sentence. The only thing that saved her was someone had to care for the children. The case was reviewed later and 4 years were removed from the sentence. Then after serving 2 years they let her out on work release. Then they sent her back to prison when her parole status was arbitrarily changed. Then when she got to the prison they told her she could go back home. She lost the job she was supposed to start that week and is hoping they'll reconsider. It has been one big fuck up for this poor woman from the get go. Although, having weed in your possession while being booked wasn't the brightest of ideas. Especially in Oklahoma. She is being jerked around by the prison system.

Now it is coming to light that the parole board was holding secret meetings and were arbitrarily changing parole statues without reveiw or due to violations by the parolees. There is a criminal investigation underway.

i can see the injustices here. thanks for the update.
like many i would not have looked into it any further.
The sad thing is, she nor her mother had prior convictions. She was selling weed to help ends meet. 12 years for that shit. She said people in bunks next to her were serving less time for murder.

I was thinking that she's not the brightest bulb but then I remembered that I did something much like that in 1970 when I was in the army. I was standing on the front porch of our barracks alongside my first sergeant. We were looking out over the parade ground at the Presidio of San Francisco after work when he shot me a look. I realized that I didn't have my hat on and reached into my field jacket, pulled it out, and plop goes a fat lid onto the floor. I reached down, picked it up, and put it in my pocket. Top gave me roll eye look and walked away. He coulda hung my ass and til this day I don't know why he didn't. He was not exactly a progressive thinker. I just got lucky, like I have soooo many other times in my life.

I really don't get some of this sentencing craziness. The other lady in the picture is a perfect example.

Skin tone and economic background pay a huge role in sentencing. Advocates for Spottedcrow cite statistics that show a wide disparity in sentencing between minorities (especially native people) and caucasians.
