What do you think of Jennifer Wilbanks’ sentence?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Duluth Runaway bride Jennifer Wilbanks has pleaded no contest to making a false statement, a charge that stems from her concocted tale of being abducted. The judge sentenced her to two years of probation, 120 hours of community service, continued mental health treatment and restitution to the sheriff’s office $2,550. The felony charge carried a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
We asked readers whether they thought the sentence was appropriate.
