The system does work from time-to-time:
There has to be something to this because she lost her job. I suspect that she isn't going to get off quite so easily on the "poor little woman, beaten up by the big mean man" defense that she tried by saying that her husband tried to choke her because it looks like her office "strongly encouraged" her to leave. The media won't say as much directly, but that's the way it looks if you read between the lines in this story.
I hope they toss in every possible misdemeanor and felony they can twist to fit against her. After the stunt that she pulled against those boys, which would have completely ruined their lives over something that most of the girls involved didn't even think was particularly riseable, she deserves to not just have the book thrown at her, but be beaten senseless with it in court.
Debra Markham, a Yamhill County deputy district attorney who made national news in 2007 for prosecuting two McMinnville seventh-graders for swatting the bottoms of girls at their middle school, now faces criminal charges herself.
Markham was arrested last month in Lincoln City for allegedly punching her husband in the face during a dispute.
