She handed the prosecution their closing arguments on a golden plate.
Unfortunately her fantastic support system weren't able to talk any sense into her the last time.
How do we get people into drug rehab before it's too late? (Just a rhetorical question, I'm sure there's another thread about it somewhere.)

Hope Sykes and family were shaken and tears ran as her mother buried her face in her hands. More than half a dozen people spoke in Sykes' behalf, which her attorney, Marcella Beeching, told the judge attested to a "fantastic support system."
Sykes needed drug rehabilitation and did not have a serious criminal record, her attorney said.
"There is no violence in her background," Beeching said.
Prosecutor Jacquelyn Roys requested the minimum mandatory sentence, played the recorded jail call for the judge, with Sykes profanely railing against any stiff sentence, and said Sykes was an active participant in the drug sale.
"Stupid us if we let her out, because she already told us what was going to happen," Roys said.
Beeching has 30 days to appeal the sentence.
