Talk about a character endictment…

I was “Oh crap” when I first saw the headline.

into “serious” and “less serious”. Felony is serious, misdemeanors are less serious.

Legally this has at leat the following results (that I know of)

Misdemeanors tend to have short sentences.

Misdemenaors committed before a person turns 18 are expunged (removed) from their record when they turn 18, so there is no further ramifications after that point.

I’m with you…I have been as hard on B-Marsh as anyone, look it up. I definitely won’t proclaim him to be innocent, that’s for sure, and I have said many times that he is guilty of making bad decisions at the least. Perhaps it is the timing of all this that bothers me, and of course, the way it is handled by Florio and CompleteColorado….

I apologize if you think I was making light, but this woman is bad news, period.

Everyone is reporting it like this is something new…..UGH!
