She’s probably smiling because she pretty well knows how our criminal system works and that she will most likely be walking out the front door of the jail before the arresting officers finish the paper work on her!

rosepetal,

I am so glad you posted what you did. All too often people do not see the tragedy that is caused by senseless crimes. I am so sorry about your husband and can only hope that he has seen some since of justice since his robbery.

God Bless you and your husband.

Ahhh there is a little bit more info. I wasn’t sure if it was an armed robbery or if it was a strong armed robbery. That irritates me even more with her smiling during her perp walk..... Can you imagine being robbed at gun point, can you imagine the fear that the victims (those who are actually trying to make an honest living) must have felt??? I tell you if I was one of those who was robbed and saw her GRINNING like an ally cat during her 15 seconds of fame I would be so TICKED OFF. Yeah I agree, the man should have the balls to turn himself in also, but then again we know how that will likely go. It is time that we as a society stop putting up with crap like this. Robbery is not a JOKE!!! Robbery can cost people their lives, most of the time it is the innocent who lose their lives. Yes, the economy is bad but that is no excuse for STEALING.... Get a job!!!!

I didn’t like the smeark on her face either, but she did turn herself in. Maybe there is hope for her. If, she was holding the gun, she needs to do prison time. But, if not then maybe she can be rehabilitated. But must also turn in the man. If the man was holding the gun, I hope they don’t let him out on bail before his trial.

WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THIS WOMAN THINK IS SO DARN FUNNY???? I wonder if those she robbed thought it was funny, I would bet not. This woman has NO REMORSE and seems to think this is all a big joke it seems. I hope that the PROSECUTOR will show this video during her trial and that it will taken into consideration how she appeared to walking the red carpet at the Oscar’s instead of taking the perp walk..... God in Heaven, what is wrong with people today????
