I\’ve seen misdemeanors get more time than that–maybe the sentencing guidelines required the judge to consider the value of the loss; perhaps $2,000 isn\’t worth more than a weekend in the local hoosegow these days!
It doesn\’t say anything about restitution either. Did she get to keep the dough? Maybe if she had pleaded guilty instead of going to trial they would have sent her to the Hyatt for a weekend instead of the slammer!
This just goes to show how the court system doesn\’t consider insurance fraud cases as that serious! What the heck – we all know how much money these Insurance Companies take from us \”poor\” consumers! So what if someone decides to take it back under false pretenses (their thinking – NOT mine!).
I feel sorry for the investigators and officers that spent time on this, what a waste. A sentance like that has to make them feel like they are just wasting their time parading these white collar criminals in front of judges. I have seen shoplifters get a stiffer sentance.
No money was ever given this was not fraud it was a mistake and nothing was taken. So the DA was having a bad day due to the death of his father and he had to take it out on someone and that person was ME. No it did not happen like that at all so felony NO it was a misdemeanor and I have had this record expunge and it is still showing up on web pages as this one. Please don’t believe everything you read. Yes I spent a weekend but it was the hardest time of my life you try going behind those bars for a weekend and see if you are not effected. Please take time to think before you post.
Is it just me or is two days in jail a bit light for a felony
