Very gracious of her, he had plenty time to get good counsel, she was railroaded in and probably told she would get off as she had no previous if she pleaded guilty which would be the norm, look at the Welsh guy who choked and kicked his girlfriend, no previous was taken into account and a suspended sentence handed out, she was definately made an example of.... and it was criminal to take away a mother from her child for that length of time, they could have given her 6 weeks it would still have had the same impact, I wish her well, I think she will make alot of money off the back of her dubious celebrity
