But, She is not your daughter or mine. They would have gone to jail in a heart beat.

Perhaps this event will help change the laws for the good. THEY need HELP not prison like so many are in. Seems to me I recall a case where a woman with3 small children was in jail already for 10 years and she wasn't found with drugs on her, her companian had them.

Once again for all the morons: Florida's "three strikes, you're out" is for drug traffickers, not users.
myflorida.com

On May 21, 1999, Governor Bush signed the "Three Strikes and You're Out!" crime bill into law. This landmark law provides minimum mandatory prison sentences for three-time convicted violent felons, drug traffickers, and persons convicted of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer or a person aged 65 or older. By providing certainty of punishment for these criminals, Florida now has one of the toughest sentencing laws in the nation.
