BTW - where can I find the specific laws/sentencing for my county? Are they posted somewhere online?
I think www.foxnews.com and www.cnn.com have links - but I am getting my information from Greta and the other legal pundits, who generally are very accurate.

As for the two years, that likely never happens.

In the end, the public rarely realizes that if we actually put people in jail according to their sentences, we would have to triple our jail space to the tune of billions of dollars. So, as awful as it is, we as a society and through the sheriffs are faced with the choice of putting La Hilton in the slammer or using that space for a rapist. I used to see this shiitte every day - so I am, I think, numb to it.
