9. I don't know the details of her case that well...

If you go to her web site at:

http://www.justiceforlucinda.org/

You can see that she cut a plea deal that perhaps prevents her from suing them. Not sure. But I do know that I met her shortly after she was freed at a local political party committee meeting here where many have known her and supported her through this ordeal. She helped provide testimony in a recent trip to our state legislature not much more than a month ago. She made a big difference in some legislation with her personal accounts she spoke of in her testimony as a part of their proceedings, and actually had some Republicans apologizing to her afterwards. I think she's found a way to continue her life doing constructive and rewarding things, even if it might not have been what she initially set out to do.
