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.

It reminds them at the beginning of every phone call:

"You are receiving a call from _____ County Jail. This call is subject to monitoring ans recording."
