Remember these girls? Well the "wheels of justice" turn slowly but eventually... you get a nice cushy sentence, if you're a pretty girl... excerpt:

'MARIETTA, Ga. - The “Barbie bandits” who went on a shopping spree after they were videotaped wearing sunglasses and laughing during an $11,000 bank heist were sentenced Monday, one to prison and another to probation.

Ashley Miller, 19, will have to serve only two years of a 10-year prison sentence and must complete the rest on probation. She pleaded guilty to theft and drug charges.

Heather Johnston, also 19, was sentenced to 10 years’ probation for her role in the February 2007 heist in Acworth, northwest of Atlanta.'

If it had been me, you'd never see me again.

Imagine if the same crime had been committed by two 19 year old males. They'd be jailed for at least a decade. I hate the injustice system.

Justice seems to hide its head away when young women commit crimes.

It could have been worse for them. They could have gotten 40 lashes across their wrists with a wet noodle! But then that may have been in violation of VAWA.

keep reiterating on different TV news shows again and again, along w/ those honest, good and decent lawyers, how foolish and ludicrous it is to think there is any sort of favoritism shown to women in sentencing.

i always say, if your going to lie and everybody knows it to be a lie, you might as well just pour it on thick.
