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.

I Had No Idea That Joe & Katherine Jackson Were Separated!

I had no idea that Michael Jackson's parents were separated.But,apparently,they have been living apart since the 80's.Joe Jackson reportedly lives in Las Vegas & Katherine Jackson lives in Encino,CA.They have always appeared in public together,so it came as a shock to me.

Here's more on that from the NY Daily News:

"It was unclear if Jackson's father, whom the singer accused of abusing him as a child, might help raise the three children.

Katherine Jackson and Joe Jackson separated in the 1980s. He lives in Las Vegas but spends time at the family house.

Both of the superstar's parents signed papers requesting that Katherine Jackson be put in charge of his money, claiming he died "intestate," without a will."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the story in its entirety here.

Did Michael Jackson Leave A Will That Excluded Joe Jackson?

There's been so much speculation on whether Michael Jackson had a will or not.Well,it turns out that he did draw one up.And the father that has been out there acting so undignified may have been left out of it!

I have even more sympathy for Michael Jackson's travails once I saw how uncaring his father seems to be.I believe Joe Jackson cared way more about Michael Jackson as the world's biggest superstar than he did as his son.And that's probably why Michael didn't leave his father anything.

Here's more on that from Yahoo!News:

"The question of whether Michael Jackson had a valid will at the time of his death just got a little more complicated.

Yesterday, parents Joe and Katherine Jackson sought control of Michael's estate, claiming in court documents that the King of Pop died without a will. Hours later, one drafted in 2002 surfaced.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the document—which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come—divides the superstar's estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.

It's unclear what custody arrangements, if any, Jackson made for his three children. But a court ruling yesterday gave temporary guardianship to Katherine.

At least one aspect of the will does appear to be clear: Joe Jackson wasn't named as an heir.

The will, drafted by Jackson's longtime attorney John Branca, may be filed in probate court as early as Thursday.

So far, the family is mum on the document.

"No will has been presented to family or us," Joe and Katherine's lawyer, L. Londell McMillan, told the Journal. "We will review any will when we see it."
