I think that on the balance, justice was served in this case.

“The plea came after an appeals court ruled last year that diapers, latex gloves and other items found in Nowak’s car could be used as evidence in a trial that had been scheduled for next month, but her six-hour police interview after her arrest could not. The court said investigators took advantage of the former astronaut, who had not slept for more than 24 hours, coercing her into giving information.”
Lisa pleads, get no jail time, one year probation.

SOUNDS LIKE WHITE WOMAN JUSTICE TO ME. MINOROTIES ARE TREATED A LOT DIFFERENT IN THE INJUSTICE SYSTEM.
For Chrissakes,
Don’t let this ill-intentioned woman get away, using some obscure technicalities. Let her have a fair trial, and let her peers decide her fate. Please.
BTW, can someone please explain to me what all this means? Does the evidence being “thrown away” mean that her “interrogation tools” (the bibbie gun, pepper spray, knife, etc.) that were seized in the car will all be deemed inadmissible in court?
Legal-hike
Somebody better take the diapers away from Nowak before she trips after someone else’s husband.
This ruling sounds very strange. The kinds of tactices used in the Nowak interrogation are SOP by police everywhere.
How does the fact that she chose to drive 13 straight hours to commit an assault mean that she was under duress and not responsible for what she said? It’s absurd.
I think the judge detects a big pay-day if he can cut her enough slack to get her off. I smell an OPRAH INTERVIEW and book deal!!!
