Le Moor,

This has been hot news here. The African American girl got some bad advice. She was offered 2 years probation and her mother turned it down. According to the law she had to have a jury trial and the minimum sentence is what she received 7 years. Never ever take a jury trial over a plea bargain. You will always get much more time if you do. According to the law she did assault the teacher. However, I think if I would have beenthe teacherI would have used a bit of discretion and just talk to the girl instead of taking it this far.
