Maybe the remand is a bit much. She should have been granted bail. Probably had no defence lawyer.
But bottom line, she stole. It does not matter is it is ordinary earrings. The earrings are worth 40k. If she stole, 40k on d street, will d no not use tyre?
If we want things to get better, we should have no tolerance on wrong doing. There has to b a deterrent.
