    Aggravated battery and criminal mischief? Really?? Spraying someone with highly combustible liquid and the LIGHTING it is a lot more than those charges. Sounds more like she was trying to kill or greatly disfigure the victim. Now the suspect smiles in her mug shot. This individual is deeply disturbed. It’s only a matter of time until she does kill someone. I hope she is locked up for a very, very long time.

    Trash can’t be anything other than trash. Attempted murder for a female won’t get ten years.

    Somebody needs to slap that smile off her face! What is wrong with you girl?! You could have easily killed that person – was it worth all that? You need to stay in jail for awhile and maybe at least learn a lesson if nothing else. But going by your expression, you have no remorse whatsoever. If I was this girls mother – you’d better hope and pray you stay in jail – you and your lil nickelodeon shirt!
