Commuted her sentence, to be exact. herding cats Jan 2017 #2

Unless it was edited there was no reference to gender in the OP. George II Jan 2017 #5

so what? mopinko Jan 2017 #7

The OP stated she'd been pardoned. herding cats Jan 2017 #8

As I said, "unless it was edited " George II Jan 2017 #21

The OP simply used the name CHELSEA -- karynnj Jan 2017 #11
