I don't see how whether or not she'd do it again should even be a factor to consider. Not to mention that's at least 4 different crimes right there and I'm sure you could add even more. It just seems that, unless this was part of a plea bargain, that there should have been more serious repercussions.

The stories I've read haven't mentioned a plea deal, which may not mean anything. Prosecutors (especially those who are elected) don't always like to publicize that they offered less time instead of going to a harsher sentence, especially in high profile cases.

I'm surprised it's 10 years probation instead of a deferred sentence.
