This woman is going to jail for 10 Years.
<\/p>\n

Her name is Tiffany Sutton, and she is just 24 years old, basically a kid, and a troubled one at that, and she is going to jail because she ran out of mental health coverage.<\/p>\n

The newspaper misses the point and goes with the sensational headline, Woman sentenced in blood-drinking sex case<\/a>. (Yes, I know that it is a great hed, but still)<\/p>\n

Here are the details you really need to know:<\/p>\n

Houck [Suttons’s attorney] submitted a memo to the court stating that Sutton suffered physical and sexual abuse from ages 3 to 13, and she has had mental health problems since she was 14.<\/p>\n

Sutton improved with mental health counseling and medication up until her insurance ended six months before her February arrests<\/span><\/span>, Houck wrote.<\/p>\n

According to prison health records, Sutton thought she was a vampire for the first several weeks she was in jail, Houck wrote<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No health insurance coverage for her meds, so she self medicates, and she and while drunk and stoned, convinces her 46-year old consort to let her tie him up, and then cuts him and tries to drink his blood.<\/p>\n

Does it sound like she was in her right mind????<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The judge, one David Udall*<\/sup>, decides that the solution is to sentence her to TEN YEARS IN PRISON.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This woman needs help<\/span><\/span>, and she will not get it under the tender confinement of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

*<\/sup>Anyone know if he is related to the late Congressman Morris or his son Congressman Mark Udall?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
