Diane Hathaway is scum. I have no problem with her humiliation. The more the better.

Declaring herself "broken" and "disgraced," former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway tearfully took responsibility for fraud Tuesday before a judge sentenced her to a year and a day in prison for concealing assets while she was pleading with a bank for a sale on her underwater home.

<snip>

Crying and reading from a statement, Hathaway, 59, blamed her crime on "personal issues" but added: "That is no excuse."

"I stand before you a broken person," she told the judge. "I am ashamed, embarrassed, humiliated and disgraced."

<snip>

Hathaway and husband Michael Kingsley put the Florida home in a relative's name while dealing with ING Bank on the Michigan house, then got the property back in their names in 2012. Before the sale, she also tapped more than $350,000 in cash to buy two homes that were placed in the names of stepchildren, according to the government.

I don't care what her "personal issues" were - nothing excuses that kind of chicanery.

she deserves exactly what she's getting. One house wasn't good enough for her?

They only apologize and cry boo hoo when they get caught.
