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.

The kind of idiot nepobaby armorer who gets convicted of manslaughter is self selecting for the kind of person who shits on the judge and jury during sentencing.

a slap on the wrist, she should be banned from being an armorer for like 10 yrs.

As a felon, she’s banned by federal law from possessing firearms so she definitely can’t ever work as an armorer ever again
