Doctor, this is more of your highly efficient knee-jerking. Courts make mistakes -- often crowded, short on time -- and you get some pudgy, unnatractive teen-age girl hanging with the wrong crowd, people don't exert a lot of effort.

Society will be better served having this woman perform a function -- helping her parents to stay in their home and off the dole -- rather than paying to keep her locked up in some mockery of justice.

Read the damn story, exercise your brain cells instead of your quadraceps (good for jerking the knee upwardly).
