McCain Campaign Supporter Ashley Todd Slapped on Wrist for BS Mutilation Story

Ashley Todd was in court today and pled out to essentially a wrist slap for fabricating an attack and mutilation story.

A John McCain campaign volunteer agreed on Thursday to enter a probation program for first-time offenders for falsely reporting that a Barack Obama supporter robbed and assaulted her and scratched a “B” on her cheek.

Ashley Todd, 20, of College Station, Texas, claimed the attack happened when the robber saw her McCain bumper sticker.

Todd appeared before a city judge and waived her right to a hearing and was to be released from jail later Thursday.

Under the agreement, her criminal record will be expunged after if she stays out of trouble and gets mental treatment on probation. Most people spend a year on probation in the program, which is for first-time, nonviolent offenders.

“Our focus was really, ‘This is somebody who appeared to have some mental issues,'” said prosecutor Chris Avetta. “And we wanted to make sure she doesn’t hurt herself or anybody else.”

Obviously, Todd has some mental problems and Flap is glad she will receive the obligatory help. If she fails to abide by her plea deal today she can be sentenced to up to two years in jail – OUCH!
