10 days in jail? That’s all she got?

It's a misdemeanor apparently.
But also, what the fuck - it took 'thousands' of calls she hung up on before she got found out? i mean yeah, she needs to be punished, but that is also negligent management.

What a ridiculous sentence.

She should have gotten 10 days in jail for each instance of hanging up on people. For a conservative estimate of "only" 1000 hang-ups, that would come out to 27 years.

Hold on. There are actual murders and robbers etc who got way less than that. I'd say 10 days for every day she behaved in that manner

Plus the 18 months of probation, but yeah.

That should make it a felony.

I was thinking so too. She could have caused people to die because assistance didn't come in time. Was the state sued?
