I agree.

12 months in prison followed by six months of community service seems more appropriate.

They should be punished to the full extent of the law for their horrible crimes! 16 years in prison seems way to lenient. Should be life in jail without the possibility of parole or the death penalty, for both of them.

does that sound more worthy of locking someone in prison for 16 years over?

Two-tiered justice is real. That said, these two seem to have issues if homecoming is worth going to jail over.

They wouldn't have gotten any more than 16 years if they murdered all the competition.

They earned themselves some punishment, but 16 years seems a little bit out of proportion.

16 years is simply the maximum for the charges. Do I think they deserve the maximum? I don't know. I'm not privy to the details of the case. Will they get 16 years? Probably not.

She definitely deserves jail time. She tampered with people's records. Could've stolen I.D.s, and since she used her cell phone and computer at home, could've compromised the security of the school computer, which might've enabled someone else to steal I.D.s.


How would you all feel if you found out your high school student had their S.S. #'s compromised, or their addresses stolen, and someone applied for a bunch of credit cards, using your high school student's I.D. but you don't find out about it until they're applying for colleges or loans for college, and what do you know, student has a bunch of debt to their name?


Or, your son or daughter is expecting to be sume *** laude, but this assistant vice principal has been shaving points off your kid's grade point average, unbeknownst to anyone, and/or adding grade points to her own daughter?


How would you feel about her knowing what medications your kid takes at school? Or IEP status?


No. She didn't kill anyone, but she had the potential to hurt a lot of people's lives. That SHOULD be punishable, and not just by losing her job. Bernie Madoff didn't kill anyone either, but was sentenced to a 150 yrs in prison.

IMO, it is ridiculous that tampering with school records would lead to a multi-year sentence. Heck, for comparison, MORTGAGE FRAUD sentences only average 22 months!

Life in prison for tampering with homecoming votes? Yeah, OK.
