She should have pleaded Funnel Cake. No jury would convict her.

Actually, this is (sorta) a good thing ... IIRC, the precedent this case must follow wuz brung before the SCOTUS, for a speeding ticket ... end result wuz that EVERYTHING ... MUST have the option of a trial (tho mebbe not necessarily "by jury" ... ? ? ?) ... and an extension of this principle decrees that a person on trial has the right to be represented by an attorney ...
Yeah, it's a major inconvenience for her, but it could've merely been a "fine and costs, and a permanent blotch on the record" with NO chance to refute, rebut or challenge ...
Yup ... not fun fer her, but it could've been werse, IMH-ALC-O ... and the opinion of SCOTUS, as well ...

For the sake of the trial, I hope the prosecution is fully prepared to produce the original evidence.

It's a perfect opportunity for pleading temporary insanity -- she was out of her gourd.

Forsooth, n'cin' ... merely attemptin' to add a bit of perspective ... to both sides of the question ...
