She was under extreme duress when she committed this crime. It was a desperate act, perhaps a cry for help.

The completely improper and inappropriate review conducted, which involved unprecedented and unabashed advocacy for the government’s positions, must be addressed and reviewed by [the Supreme Court] because it is such anathema to accepted appellate review...

This lady had no intent to harm anyone, or put anyone in any kind of fear. She’s under a lot of duress and it’s sad.

We need to get her some (counseling) attention and get it worked out. It’s a sad situation, really.

I don’t know what the basis of the appeal would be. There’s nothing there to reverse the decision.

What more powerful testament than her turning that offer down.
