Accused of Arson at Sanford Hospital
She has nowhere else to go? That is depressing
you hear of that sometimes, they have nothing and are homeless, but if they go to jail they get food and shelter so they try to get arrested
What craziness is this?
Starting a fire in a hospital, where many sick people could be unable to be evacuated, is a very serious offense. While I am sympathetic with this woman's lack of somewhere to go, she may wind up having a residence for many years in prison.
