A Woman Gets 5 Years For Zapping A Cheerleading Coach With A Stun Gun!

I think that getting 5 yrs for using a stun gun on a cheerleading coach is about as ridiculous as the crime itself.Why so much time for a woman who did less damage to her victim than Chris Brown did to his?

LeShawn Cathlene Fisher is the Oklahoma woman who did something really stupid for her friend.Julie Ann Bell's daughter didn't make the cheerleading team.For that reason,Ms. Bell wanted to get revenge on the cheerleading coach.So,Ms. Fisher zapped the cheerleading coach in the neck for her friend.

Here's more from NEWSOK:

" A stun-gun-using assailant wept Wednesday as she was sentenced to five years in prison for an attack last year on a high school cheerleading sponsor.

"It was not a fair ruling,” a handcuffed, tearful LeShawn Cathlene Fisher said as sheriff’s deputies took her to jail. "I love my children, my family, my friends. I don’t deserve this.”

Fisher, 37, of Choctaw will have to serve five more years on probation after her release.

She was fined $1,000.

Fisher shocked the cheerleading sponsor in the neck outside Putnam City North High School on April 18, 2008, as they sat in the victim’s car. Prosecutors alleged a cheerleader’s mother, Julie Ann Bell, was behind the attack on sponsor Bethany Lorenz. Fisher and Bell are friends.

Jurors at a trial last week acquitted Bell.

Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott chose Fisher’s punishment, rejecting her attorney’s request for only probation. He said he was appalled Fisher lied at Bell’s trial.

Fisher testified at the trial she acted on her own and Bell was not involved. "I don’t want someone else to pay for what I did,” she said at trial. "I didn’t think about it. It just happened. It was such an impulsive thing.”

The judge Wednesday said he was not naive and that Fisher had "one last chance” to explain her reasons for the attack. Fisher replied that she loves children and felt the sponsor was not treating girls fairly.

She again did not implicate Bell.

"I’m not buying it,” Elliott said."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
