Just look at the picture of the defendant. A 94 year old lady who probably does not have a job, money in the bank, nor any means of support. She knew she owed the money, yet had no way to pay it. How come the State could not figure this out? Seems to me that a good State lawyer can just go up to her and ask if she says "no", then the lawyer could look around, scratch his head, and figure it out real quick like. No, the State wants their pound of flesh, but that doesn't make it right. How can a 94 year old woman get a job, get to the job, and probably loose her social security because she'd make more than the minimum allowable according to SS? It is an intolerable system that has no way of showing compassion. How many years does this lady have to live? Probably not many, so why would the State care? They only want their pound of flesh. I'm SHOCKED the SC voted 9-0 in her favor. I figured there would be a split. Good for the compassion on the SC.
