Personally, I think this has to have been the biggest waste of time since OJ's botched trial.
She'll get probation and she'll have to pay for the clothes. The ONLY thing the court is getting is the probation - she had already agreed to pay for the clothes.
So....how much money was wasted on the judge? How much on the jurors? How about the extra workers/security since it was a "celebrity"? How much time will a probation officer now have to waste for the next 3 years? How many REAL trials could have been put before the judge and jury during the time this fiasco occurred?
Yes, she's famous, but geeze - people get nailed all the time for shoplifting and how many times do you think a first offender, with the ability to pay, goes before a jury?
Her lawyers and the prosecutor should have dealt with this :angry:
