Dealing with a lot of frustration today. [View all]
A family member was sentenced yesterday for parole violation on a felony theft charge. Her parole violation was a DUI where she had a head-on collision and totalled two cars, including the car she "borrowed" from another family member. Thankfully, no one was severely injured in the accident.
The judge could have sentenced her to two years, in a facility that would have gotten her the help she needs for her drug addiction. But he went easy on her and gave her more probation. I hope she doesn't get killed before she violates probation again.
