KD in CA Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 because she felt he was tampering with the hot water heater. Well at least she had a good reason. Jean Schmidt remains jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $2,500 bail. She was charged with aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, according to arrest papers. $2500?!?!?!? WTF?? And people wonder why domestic violence continues to be a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBob2232 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Yeah, and if you cant afford (or have friends you can call who can afford) 2500 bucks, this might be part of your problem. Not to mention, typically bail is only 10 % of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything would have been fine if she did, the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatcrayonz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Typical Republican!!!! http://www.jeanschmidt.com/ 850257[/snapback] I don't really get into politics but it makes me sick when politicians get off easy like this. In two years she'll get elected again because the voters have short memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 The husband is lucky the police took her. In Davie, the police philosophy, as told to me by a Davie policeman is: "If we didnt see it, it didnt happen" Doesnt that make you feel all warm and safe inside.

People like you get handled with kid gloves all the time. You're just afraid to admit it publically. Reminds me of a L&O Special Victims Unit episode that I saw last night.

If it is a woman, they can arrest you without evidence, just cause she says you hit her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
