Woman Prison Escapee Gets Probation After Serving 14 Months of Ten Year Sentence

Story here. Excerpt:

"A California woman who escaped from a Michigan prison 32 years ago and lived on the lam as a suburban mother was sentenced to probation Wednesday, five months after her capture.

"I knew for years this was coming," Susan LeFevre, 53, said.

Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner said LeFevre had already served 14 months in prison on a drug conviction when she escaped.

"The court finds no reason to give you extra time," said Groner, who ordered two years of probation."

Now, this woman was sentenced originally in 1974 to ten years for heroin distribution. She jumped the prison fence after 14 months and lived as a fugitive until last year.

I suppose the obligatory question is -- do you think a male fugitive would get a minimal probation, or would he be back in the slammer serving out his sentence?

And more importantly, when is she going to be on Oprah and get her book deal?
