23. First Offense
Given that it was Melissa’s very first offense and she had no police record, she might just get the lowest felony charge, that of “threatening the well-being of a small child.” This charge implied that Melissa would never actually spend any real jail time for her horrific acts.
Melissa would just have to serve 3 months in prison and be have probation of no more than 3 years if discovered guilty. And the most troubling feature of these bitter news, was that in 3 years Melissa would have her record entirely expunged.
