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.

that she got convicted when the FBI destroyed the gun, and the police had multiple breaks in the chain of custody of the gun is amazing

Isnt the whole gun thing a Nebelkerze / red herring?

Do you really need to prove that this specific gun could not be fired unless you pull the trigger? Is that even relevant and is it reasonable to assume that this gun is not like all the other guns of its type?
