Best Place to Find Girls Gone Wild: Gwinnett is Great
On the water tower that hovers over I-85 is the declaration: GWINNETT IS GREAT. What’s Gwinnett great at? For one thing, producing otherwise unremarkable young women whose lapses in judgment — combined with their wholesome suburban-ness and vaguely attractive whiteness — accidentally propel them into the national news spotlight. In ’05, it was Jennifer “Runaway Bride” Wilbanks. This year, it’s Ashley Miller and Heather Johnston, aka the Barbie Bandits, who briefly captured the country’s imagination by looking a lot prettier on Bank of America security-camera footage than they do in real life. After they were arrested and news producers figured out they weren’t actually hot, they largely vanished. Before her guilty plea, Johnston worked as a telemarketer. Miller is, of all things, working as a babysitter as she awaits trial.
You bag of shit. Heather is Hot!

Staley will continue as judge in ‘bandit’ case
Lawyers for the remaining defendants in the “Barbie Bandits” case said Tuesday that the judge handling it does not need to be replaced.
Cobb Superior Court Judge Mary Staley’s family owns stock in Bank of America, the alleged victim in the case.
Staley asked the lawyers to decide whether they wanted her to be replaced by another judge. Defense attorneys decided it was not necessary.
October 5th is the next court date.

Tearful “Barbie Bandit” Pleads Guilty
Update/Correction: The source of the video is WSB-TV. I was also able to fill in a transcript gap.
The link to the video is the boxed text.
Questioner (unlear if this is her lawyer or the prosecutor): If you had stayed where you were, going down the path you were, where do you think you would be?
Heather: Well, uh, probably dead or, ah, just not good off. Um, I do regret what I did and I wish I could take it back, every day. But I can’t. [inaudible] I don’t have a time machine. So I can’t take it back. But it has turned my life around, in so many ways. I have my family back.
Lawyer Clay Thompson: Right now, she plead to Theft By Taking.
Reporter: Plead guilty?
Thompson: Plead guilty to Theft By Taking.
Reporter (v.o.): Her lawyer Clay Thompson says Heather Johnston will stay on bond and on an ankle monitor, pending sentencing. But that’s far better than where she was before she took part in the so-called Barbie Bandit bank theft in February. She says her arrest was a wake-up call from a life that had gone awry.
Judge Staley: The sensible thing to do is to let those other cases resolve, then we’ll come back, I’ll take your arguments and then I’ll make a decision about what the punishment’s going to be, because obviously, you have behaved in a criminal manner.
