Say You're Sorry: Get Out of Jail Free (Almost)

Who's Apologizing Now? This gal in Utah, to get out of jail; and the Judge for a comment about shooting a dog.

Ok, we know the REAL news from Utah (besides catching big-time perv Warren Jeffs) is that Mexico's Vincente Fox visiting. Whatever.

Here: "Lane also must pay a $500 court fee, write a letter of apology to the dog's owners - Yvette and James Brimhall - and pay them $586 in restitution.... Lane also must obtain a mental health evaluation and comply with any recommended treatment. Third District Judge Stephen Henriod sentenced Lane to 180 days in jail upon learning she had done nothing about getting rid of the surplus dogs. Henriod told Lane it would have been better to shoot the dogs than come to court in blatant violation of the law. The next day the judge apologized for the comment."
