The choice did not agree with Spencer Hudson’s friends and family, who loaded the courtroom.
“I’m not happy about the verdict. I think she should have been convicted on all three counts. But I was told in there that she could still get a severe penalty or punishment out of it, so hopefully, that will be the case. It’s…I was hoping for more. But we have to live with what we got,” said Hudson’s daddy speaking outside the court house with discontentment.
Jackson now deals with a prospective 40-year jail term for her convictions. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 2, where a judge will identify the precise length of her imprisonment.
