In court on Thursday, she apologized and her doctor testified that she was suffering from menopause.

“Until recently I had no idea that the medication I was taking to help with my hormone imbalance, menopause, depression and anxiety had so much impact on my ability to reason and be productive,” said Trostel “It made all those things so much harder. Looking back I see that now, but at the time I wasn’t really tuned into that. I didn’t realize that my health was just deteriorating.”


BS. This is like blaming rape on Viagra. :crazy:

Acouple of her employees lost their homes after she fired them. I thought they'd be protected as 'whistleblowers'. They should sue the county IMO.
