Ohio Mom Who Says She Only Sold Meth to Put Kid Through College is Sentenced to 11 Years

[Turd Fergusen]

In a plot straight out of an acclaimed TV drama -- but with an ending too sobering for the small screen -- an Ohio mother-of-five who said she sold crystal meth to send her child to college was sentenced to 11 years in prison Monday.

Janet Gartner, 41, and her boyfriend, Nicholas Bair, 40, were running a drug operation that allowed them to sell meth throughout Licking County, officials said. But her attorney argued the mother never did the drugs herself — only sold them -- and she did it for her child.

"She only wanted to sell enough to buy a farm and put one of her children through college," attorney Nicole Churchill said. “I don’t believe anyone wakes up and goes, ‘You know, I want to sell meth.'"

So not buying it... if all you wanted was a farm and send a kid to college... why do you have multiple ATVs, cars, and firearms?

She looks like a prop at one of the haunted houses I went to this weekend. I'm not buying the "she never did the drugs, only sold them" line.

 

[Turd Fergusen]

Yeah......the mugshot pretty much clears everything up.

To be fair.... she may not have done the meth part of their business.... but they did find cocaine too!

So going by that logic she should also know what that shit does to people and families.

I hope the cops had fun with their asset forfeiture laws on these two.

She probably didn’t touch the meth. Not enough spots and she’s too healthy looking (not skeletal)
She probably got really high off the fumes though....
Maybe it started out as a plan to put the kid through college and buy a farm.
Maybe the fumes made her forget that plan....

Awww such a noble self sacrificing mommy.
Did it all for her kid.
She isn't a dirty druggie at all.

The vehicles and ATVs were a nice touch.
I envision them being very helpful to her farm but oops....no farm now!

What the other 4 kids dont get to go to college?

Lawyer is doing his job. I guarantee he didn't believe that for a second. He had a client with an indefensible position, and made the only argument he could devise.

Prosecution argues for a particular sentence.
Defense either plea bargains or argues for a lesser sentence.
Judge hears them both and decides.
