You know, I was here thinking it may have been something that the headline missed as to why she got off lightly to understand her position.

But the woman's doctor told police that the defendant had tested positive with a rapid test and told him that she “certainly won’t let herself be locked up" after the result

Nope, she's just a cunt.

She also has a prior conviction for intentionally spreading COVID.

Agreed. The headline made it sound like the deceased person was injected or something.
