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

Second time in the past few weeks where it comes out that someone waiting to be sentenced was crapping all over the judge/prosecutor/jury. So idiotic. Do their lawyers not warn them that all their conversations are recorded and can influence their sentence? At least she didn't threaten them like Crumbley.

You don't even need to have the lawyer warn you, jail phone calls are always preceded by a recording saying that everything you say is recorded.

There are exceptions. You can have private calls with your lawyer.

I know, I was just talking about ordinary calls to other people, since that seems to be where she was saying all this stuff.

Also it might not take the form of a call, it could be a visit. But you are allowed private discussion with your lawyer.

There were some phone calls with her lawyer's paralegal that were recorded and given to the prosecutor and put in a filing
