    But she didn’t plead guilty, according to the article. She pleded ‘no-contest’ so she didn’t admit guilt, just stopped defending herself after she heard that she isn’t going to be punished anyway.

    She just walked away after the judge said she can do that without consequences.

        Pleading guilty would have at least demonstrated some remorse.

        I’d rather forgive someone that said “Sorry, I did something bad, and learn from it” then someone that just first say “I didn’t do it.” and then when informed that they aren’t going to be punished say “Whatever.” and walk away.

        So, she not pleading guilty and still not getting punished, while at fault is more rediculus to me.
