The judge really have her hell, it's worth reading. Another article by The Guardian had this gem:

"She also told the judge she cannot go to prison because she needs to sleep on a magnetic mattress, which she has been using since 1995 to help with health conditions such as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia."

If I was the judge id be trying to figure out how to give her the death sentence for that fucken statement. Seriously I want her to drink white phosphorus.
