She can't miss this one. It will mean prison for sure. Also there is a "public interest" now to do so.
People would use her excuse in real life and that would snowball into disaster.
She has used every single tactic there ever was to get out of this. Played the system like its never been played before. She didn't get it dismissed like she was hoping. All she has done is kick the can down the road. The trouble is, she has finally reached a dead end.
Have faith Krusties. We'll be celebrating at the end of the month!
