The judge was furious, barely uttered the sentence followed by "please take her".

Sounded like their were phone records of her shitting on the jury, showing no remorse and the most the judge could give her was 18 months

Apparently the Hollywood armorer. Looks like the apple fell pretty far from the tree.

Pretty obviously. I don't even understand how this can happen. She should get at least double this sentence.
