Hannah Payne sentencing: Defense asks for leniency because she is 'young in age'

[@ranxerox692008]

If she wanted leniency she should have pled guilty and asked the court for mercy. What she really wants is to not be held accountable for her actions.

The good in her heart should’ve started with her not pursing Kenneth Herring once she provided the license plate to the 911 dispatcher. As for defense attorneys, they’ll do/say anything, won’t they?

This stand your ground, open carry, concealed carry needs to be stopped. They’re all just loopholes for people to mete out justice as they see fit.
