The Bellows Falls woman who shook what she claimed was a "dirty" hypodermic needle at a cashier in a Springfield Plaza pharmacy and then ran off with $250 she grabbed from the cash register drawer has been sentenced.

    "“...realizes her mistake and wants to take responsibility..."

    Cleary a coached remark aimed a gaining the favor of the court.

    So someone with a decade long wrap sheet and already failed her so called attempt at drug treatment by immediately failing a random test is getting leniency because she "saved" them time! Really that is their job to spend their time putting people like this away!!

    The sentence is 1 to 5, minimum 1. Presumably if she doesn't shape up in jail, the time will be more than 1. So... she has been 'put away', eh?

    An ex-con relocation and fair housing program should be established that provides the means to furnish housing to these offenders in the neighborhoods of the judges and attorneys that negotiate and pronounce such lenient sentences. Nothing I'd like more than to see the perfumed princes of the justice systems have to live amongst those they so casually send back out the revolving door and on to the streets to prey on society some more.
