The Judge, His Honor J Ruth, pointed out over and over and over that Mrs. Hunter has made this case about how she and her family were affected and hasn't shown the court (His Honor J Ruth) that she is concerned at all about the impact her actions had or could have had on Mrs. Sprague and her family. What does Mrs. Hunter's lawyer do when given the chance to address that? Argues MORE about how much this has affected Mrs. Hunter and HER family. And oh, yeah, she's sorry. I really do pray this has been the wake-up call Mrs. Hunter needs, but this case was about her actions towards another person. Not her, herself, her family, her business, her, her and HER. They missed the point. His Honor used the words 'possible deadly consequences' several times. The Defense? 'But look at how my client has suffered.' I would be fearful for my worst day to be out there. For my life and my family's lives to be in the public eye in such a negative light. However, this isn't about anyone other than the VICTIM and HER family's health, whether the defendant was 'aware' of their health risks or not. Wrong is wrong. The Defense Lawyer and Defendant both missed this point utterly and completely.

And yes I do TRUST MODERN MEDICAL SCIENCE, I do not trust something that cannot be DEMONSTRATED TO BE TRUE, something that cannot be verified, something that is based on no evidence at all. Why is it that MEDICAL SCIENCE has developed life saving drugs, remedies and vaccines to so many deadly and debilitating diseases. I grew up in the 1950s the era of the Cold War when annihilation was a real possibility, but it was NOT the greatest fear that young people experienced. The greatest fear was a disease called POLIOMYELITIS, the newsreels of row upon row of IRON LUNGS keeping people alive still haunt me. A genius of a doctor called Jonas Salk developed a vaccine and today when asked what POLIO is the average teenager replies with a single word “WHAT!”. Medical SCIENCE is our ONLY HOPE.

But she did that "intentional cough" in front of her daughter. Whether the child lost or did not lost some friends, the result to her character watching her mother do that to someone is difficult. She feels sorry for the effects on her own kids but what about the effects on the victim's family?

She wasn't expecting such a well-spoken woman to be on the other side of that phone. Good on the victim for sticking up for herself!

The letter was sent months after she had already given her attorney and the state the results of her negative results. She was unaware that she wasn’t notified and the state said she was notified of the results. She probably didn’t remember because brain tumor surgery and treatment does affect short term memory and some people can experience day to day forgetfulness. Meaning they can’t remember what happened the previous day, week, month until it becomes part of their long term memory. Some can be 6 months up to 5 years later before they can recall an event. Most people have to write a daily journal to keep themselves up to date on current events. My niece underwent surgery for a tumor in her brain and she was 15 at the time. It took 5 years before she was fully healed and could remember day to day memories, weekly tasks and even monthly events. Our brain is a wonderfully beautiful complicated organ but we don’t know what she is remembering or what her personal struggles are but she admitted that if they told her they must have she just doesn’t remember.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR HER VULGAR ACTIONS. She spit on an innocent bystander. I wouldn’t spit on anyone ever it’s absolutely degrading. And her excuse for having been under extreme distress is laughable. Like I said I would never spit on ANYONE and we’ve had a damn stressful almost 5 years... We had just pulled my husband’s TSP retire to pay $60k for repairs on our home that weren’t covered by Homeowners Insurance (honestly it was our first owned home and we didn’t peruse it until we made repairs) Then the following year (after having our first daughter who spent over 100 days in the NICU while being pregnant with our 2nd) had a pipe burst in our house that filled up our basement and overflowed from the crawlspace and into our lower level. We were staying at my grandma’s house trying to help with the Estate and dealing with Probate because my grandmother had passed away just weeks prior. Also my grandma was my best friend and I held her hand as she took her last breaths in the ICU post hip replacement surgery due to a fall at her home. So back to the house that had a waterfall, we used our Homeowners insurance and they covered over $170,000 dollars in remediation and repairs due to the extensive damage. They had to move all our belongings out of the house into a conex and after over a year of restorations our contractor stole materials, didn’t pay the subcontractors essentially he ran off with $45,000 of cash we paid and he didn’t give to the workers or subcontractors along with whatever additional expense of theft of materials. We were weeks away from moving back in and had luckily gotten help through our fellow military community to complete our repairs and close out our permits so we could move back in - all we had left was tile, hardwood flooring, paint, and installing fixtures and appliances aka the trim out. Well then there was an 7.3 earthquake and due to all the water that flowed from the top floor of our house when the pipe burst down into the crawlspace and once the crawlspace was filled it continued by overflowing into the lower level of the house... had applied so much lateral force that once the earthquake and subsequent liquefaction of the soils in the crawlspace... it affected the structual integrity of our foundation and our local municipality along with FEMA red tagged our house stating no one could inhabit the property. To add salt to the wound because we hadn’t been sleeping in the house at the time of the earthquake we could not qualify for FEMA assistance for the repairs and we unfortunately did not have earthquake insurance. So for now we continue to pay the mortgage and due to not being able to secure funding and having already spent out life savings and pulling out my husband’s retirement already we can not afford to make repairs which means we can not move into the house. So luckily before the earthquake we purchased a condo with the intent to have it as an income property when repairs were completed and we had moved back into our house. When that didn’t happen we luckily had a place to live, regardless of having to continue paying both mortgages. So she can shove her pity party where ever she prefers. That’s a BS excuse and it proves her character.

About this ms karen’s showing wellbeing towards the victim which she very rudely deliberately walked-up coughing during a COVID-19 Pandemic I wholeheartedly agree with You because “IF” she was SO Sorry she certainly didn’t show it, the way she came back up in the woman’s face taunting her while flipping her off w/ Fk-You gestures while coughing directly in her face (saying, “How about that, Huh”) NO, NO way! She wasn’t showing remorse then and certainly isn’t, NOW! I’m not believing her apology to the woman was genuine! And she (Debra/Karen) was hesitant in reading her letter, the Judge said: He wanted to hear it, She was still hesitant not wanting to but, finally did!

@@brokenangel3695 the judge was trying to help her out. The letter came off much better than the testimony she was giving, is why he said to read it. That Karen’s child needed the restroom and she didn’t take him when given the chance is disgusting. Her child didn’t look shocked by their mother’s behavior, if that was her child n the background. So she’s acted that way before.

@@tootoo3172 Exactly. Stop trying to now play the victim after making the choice to do something childish and disgusting. Her mistake, her choice.

She had one last chance to give a well thought out apology to the victim before the judge, and she instead she took the opportunity to talk about her own behaviour impacted HERSELF!? What was she expecting, a standing ovation? No mention whatsoever of the repercussions in the victim's life. A sincere apology would have stood her in better stead.

Fantastic judge, fair, patient, understanding and WISE!

I’m so glad she had to serve time in jail and couldn’t buy her way out of this.

Awwwww... poor you. You were mildly inconvenienced by issues with a house you were building. Put that up against a mom of 10 who is battling a brain tumor.

@@jonnieinbangkok Exactly. I'm so happy that she is going to see the inside of a jail cell. Her hubby got off the call after the judge said she was guilty. My guess, that by the end of the year.... 1. Hubby will file for divorce. 2. The house, which gave them some much stress, will fall into foreclosure. 3. Hubby's years-long fling with (xxxx) will be brought to light, and lil' Debbie will portray herself as the ultimate victim.

@ASMR Samantha Says I wasn’t trying to make her look good. I’m just tired of all this hate being on this woman for such a minor thing. People are rude to me at my job and they get loud, but I don’t expect someone to film it. She didn’t even know who she was coughing on. The woman just happened to have cancer and everyone keeps going on and on about that. If I sound like a bitch, I’m sorry, but I can’t help, but think that Heather Sprague is partially responsible for this. Even though filming in public is legal, what was her purpose? And she filmed someone irate so I can’t imagine what she thought might happen when that person discovered she was being recorded.

Outstanding judge! An asset to that county for sure!

The judges reaction after seeing the video. “Oh my”

Judge Ruth, I enjoyed watching your courtroom. You seem to be a very fair, caring and compassionate judge. Thank you sir for your many years of service.
