Story here. Excerpt:
'ORLANDO, Fla. - Former astronaut Lisa Nowak can remove an electronic monitoring bracelet from her ankle, a circuit court judge ruled Thursday ahead of her trial for allegedly attacking a romantic rival.
Nowak argued it was expensive, bulky and uncomfortable. Judge Marc L. Lubet said that didn't matter, but Nowak had behaved well enough over the past 7 months to earn release.
The woman Nowak is accused of attacking, Colleen Shipman, argued for the monitoring to stay, saying she still feared Nowak.'
"Expensive, bulky, and uncomfortable." So is an adult-sized diaper but that didn't stop her from wearing one all the way until she got to her destination, right?

Shouldn't She Be Under Constant Surveillence?
Her legal eagles are planning on using the insanity defense in her case. This is admitting that you have severe clinical mental problems.
I would think for the public's collective safety that a person who admits to clinical insanity should be closely watched!
But of course she is a woman (read that as a priviledged aristrocrat) and therefore above the law in this dysfunctional and misandric society.
Why?
It's not like if she doesn't like you she'll fill her trunk with all the necessary gear to abduct, kill you, and dispose of your corpse and drive non-stop across the country to get you or anything.
She's utterly harmless. Definitely not a threat to anyone - especially not the woman she already attempted to kill - and she finds it bulky and uncomfortable.
Maybe the judge was just worried that if he didn't let her take it off she'd kill him.
A woman's sense of priority
What is interesting is Nowak's choice of reason for asking the bracelet to be removed. Nothing to do with whether it was still necessary, everything to do with her own comfort and convenience. Tells us a great deal about her self-centred, childish and "privilege princess" mentality, does it not? Now I wonder where she got that from?
