Critics’ Pick
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!

September 12, 2007

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.

Heather: The Helots Come Out To Make Hay

August 25, 2007

“Is the Barbie Bandit Really Accepting Responsibility for Her Actions?”

Perhaps Dad has forgotten that God will forgive, but he also punishes.

Does He? Always?

No.

John 8:1-11

I single this post out because it specifically invokes God. As if this person knows God. This person only knows God as he wants to know God. But he doesn’t know God.

I cite the most famous example from the New Testament (an account which in fact is in doubt according to some scholars). Go read the Old Testament. There are plenty of instances where corrupt societies were on the brink of being extinguished by the wrath of God. Yet God first sent prophets to persuade them to repent. They did and were spared.

But, oh, that doesn’t fit in with the God this guy says he knows.

These self-righteous pricks make me sick. Please, pray for a spaceship to take you to another planet! One where you can enjoyably punish one another.

Heather: Today’s Wrap-Up

August 23, 2007

According to published reports:

Heather Johnston has to wear an ankle monitor, undergo regular drug testing, and still has to live under a curfew.

She has been working a six-day-a-week job at a telemarketer for a vacuum cleaner sales company. She earns $200/week plus commissions.

The prosecution:

Assistant District Attorney Jason Samuels recommended a sentence of three years in prison and seven years’ probation. He also recommended that she pay $9,964 in restitution to Bank of America and that she testify against her co-defendants. Police recovered $1,002 from Johnston when she was arrested, Samuels said. He also recommended that she serve 12 months on the marijuana charge.

Four people were involved and she has to account for all monetary restitution? All I will say right now is that must be an error. The prosecution should also keep in mind that Heather entered a plea of guilty. The other three are still stonewalling under pleas of not guilty.

Don’t let them rattle you, Heather. Things will work out.

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.

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-johnston-wcsh-02.jpg

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.

heather-johnston-wcsh-03.jpg

Lawyer Clay Thompson: Right now, she plead to Theft By Taking.

Reporter: Plead guilty?

Thompson: Plead guilty to Theft By Taking.

heather-johnston-wcsh-04.jpg

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.

heather-johnston-wcsh-05.jpg

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.
