Yep. There's actually a whole raft of the draconian Not this Public School cases. Meanwhile some cities are still dealing with the drain on tax paid services by people that fled just far enough to be in a different property tax area.

As Robert Blake said when on trial for arranging the murder of his wife, "In America, you're innocent until proven broke."

I think she should get

a) 0 years in jail

b) a medal for bravery

c) a scholarship for her kid to go to college

How infuriating interesting that the rich person gets the slap on the wrist and the poor person gets a big jail sentence because that crime was also combined with supposedly selling illegal drugs to undercover officers.
