But... in these sentences it says:

In a clarification, the Johnson County District Attorney’s office said that while a judge sentenced Phelps to prison, the judge also granted Phelps’ request for dispositional departure. With that request, Phelps will serve three years of probation instead of prison time.

If Phelps violates any of the terms of her probation she will serve the remainder of her sentence in prison.

Does that mean she is NOT going to prison for 18 years?? But on probation for 3 years? Am I reading the right??

Anyone know?

Thanks for posting this - but it still doesn't make sense to me! LOL! :D

So for Count 1 - 216 months equals 18 years. And she was granted 3 years probation.
Count 2 - 1 year to run concurrent.

So after 18 years in prison she will be on 3 years probation? Yes / No ?? :)

I don't know, but I suspect that she's out or will be soon. It says ISP granted -that's Intensive supervised visitation. And she wasn't referred to the DOC, she was referred to the county and already being screened for work release ? Vinelink doesn't show her in custody anywhere, but I'm gonna look some more.

And Kansas DOC (KASPER) doesn't show she's incarcerated either, it will usually give the earliest possible release date.
It shows she's assigned to Johnson County but doesnt give her security level and per the county's site - she's not an inmate.
