UPDATE

The Judge announced the sentence:

Judicial Diversion and Supervised probation for 3 years.  Will reassess after completion of probationary period.

No prison time.

Judicial Diversion

"Judicial Diversion in TN is a method by which many first-time offenders can have the opportunity to ultimately have their conviction dismissed following a successful probationary period, thereby preserving a clean record and giving them the opportunity to have it expunged, or completely removed, from their criminal history."

I really don't think she is directing that at you ThePrincessBride. Nurses have been all over social media proclaiming her innocence. 

She quoted me not once but twice and the language is pretty pointed.

She seems like she is looking for a fight, putting words in my mouth, and I'm just not here for it.

I hear RaDonda is on a publicity tour now, making the media rounds. She has a shiny future as a spokeswoman for nursing...??

It must be very painful for Charlene Murphey's family to see the nursing community making RaDonda into the victim. ?

Who said she shouldn't face consequences? Who is justifying her actions?

Maybe you should chill out and actually read the thread before you come in guns blazing...it makes you look foolish and drama-seeking, dear.

I'm not your 'dear'

I accept such acknowledgements from people who know me and have a place in my life. You do not have such a right. Call me tenebrae, or nothing at all. 

You started this when you started projecting your own insecurities however you don't get to spill such passive agressive untruths without having them challenged. 

I'm not remotely upset for the record.

And now this makes it three

If the height of your fights is a random person on the internet....

I must have missed the rule that said I wasnt allowed to quote "the princess bride"

If you cant cope with being quoted on the internet I suggest you do some self development
