Hey GS, sorry for unloading on you-but I am very upset with the way this case was handled by the system. I have seen people with traffic tickets, which have turned into warrants by inattention, do more time than Gregory. And that is very upsetting to me. I also am fairly well versed on the system and know 4019 credits can absolutely be waived and to allow Gregory to do only 6 months w/o waiving the 4019 credits upsets me deeply. Not b/c I was burned by her (like you may have been) but b/c it makes our system look like a banana republic where the poor and middle class get reamed, and connected few like Gregory get the sweetest deal no one could have ever imagined in their wildest dreams. So anyway no hard feelings. I am very upset over Gregorys case and the entire system.— February 27, 2012 5:51 p.m.

It is about bad lawyers who get an insignificant punishment == No, it is about something much LARGER than bad lawyers getting a slap on the wrist-this is about a broken system. Our system is upside down and resembles more of a third world country today than America we knew in the past. Or maybe it has always been this bad and I never realized or noticed it before.— February 26, 2012 11:16 p.m.

Her victims will not receive a dime as she is judgement proof. == You are 100% correct B. She is judgement proof. And face it, at her age (62??) she is not going to be making any money even if she WANTED to (and were able to get her law license reinstated). There is simply no job market for anyone over 40 today-with or without a degree or job skills, and that is 100 times more true for those over 60.— February 26, 2012 11:01 p.m.

Here are my thoughts; The SD County Sheriff shows her “projected” release date 8/25/2012. Las Colinas is notoriously overcrowded and some cells hold 6 to 7 women, with one having to sleep on the floor. I predict she will be released in 3 to 4 months. == The women's jail is only at 70% capacity so no female prisoners will get "early kicks". She will do the full 6 months. Even the men's jail, which is at 90% capacity, uses the "early kick" program sparingly and when they do use it the MOST an inmate will get kicked is 10%. So there is no way Gregory is getting out before 8-25-12 IMO. If for some bizarre reason the female section does fill up the most she will get on an early kick is 10%, or 2-3 weeks. I am so outraged at her 6 month half sentence that the early kick possibility is really insignificant in what she has already gotten away with.— February 26, 2012 10:52 p.m.

And indeed the punishment is INSIGNIFICANT. Which is why I was shocked to see that Gregory was receiving the good time credits for her one year in jail, making her real jail time a measly 6 months. That is outrageous .I just cannot get over how light of a sentence she received. She had a 12 or 13 count felony indictment, and pleads out to a single felony and only one year in the slammer-that alone is a GIFT. Then to find out the DA did NOT require Gregory to waive the 4019 good time credits is so outrageous I cannot even put it into words. If the DA went to trial Gregory would have been convicted on ALL counts and been given 20+ years in prison. To get away with only a 6 month sentence facing that kind of liability shows how much of a banana republic we are-with two sets of law-one for the connected and another set for everyone else. Simply outrageous.— February 26, 2012 10:46 p.m.

I spanked you pretty hard on those 4019 credits GS. Just like I spanked you ob State Bar Court a few months back. And the case I sent is People v Joseph Robinson and it is NOT violent crime, it is a DUI case. In addition ALL "violent crimes" are sent to STATE prison, not county jails. Like I said, when you have an IQ as low as yours it makes it hard for knowledgeable people like me to educate you. You sound like a wannabe paralegal who dropped out of junior high school and is now trying to play lawyer-joke central. So Google the case yourself, or better yet go down to 22o W Broadway, go to the forms section int he clerks office and pull a criminal complaint form, and look at the box that says "WAIVES 4019 CREDITS"! BTW- here is the DUI case, footnote 2 and 3 waiving 4019 credits-Google is your friend; PEOPLE v. ROBINSON THE PEOPLE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. JOSEPH ROBINSON, Defendant and Appellant. No. D057250.— February 26, 2012 10:54 a.m.

Hey GuestDork, here is a San Diego case decided last year- where 4019 credits were WAIVED. Footnotes 2 and 3. Man, I love to spank dorks like you with facts! http://www.leagle.com/xmlResult.aspx?xmldoc=In%20… http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/search/cas…— February 26, 2012 12:12 a.m.

You are without a doubt dumber than a bag of rocks. 4019 custody credits are WAIVED EVERYDAY, in every county in this state. The plea form has a box right there on the form for waiving them. Go home junior, you have no clue about the law or about anything else. You truly are the biggest fool posting here. Hey Dork, go to the sheriffs website-I posted the link so even a dork like you can figure out how to look up her sentence, she gets out August 25, 2012. For your mentally challenged pea brain that IS 6 motnhs. So she is certainly getting 4019 credits and they were not waived.— February 26, 2012 midnight
