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

What more powerful testament than her turning that offer down.

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.

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.
