Whatever happened to serving your time, paying your debt to society in full and a clean slate? And then to compound by offering and then rescinding. Man? Woman? Something in between? Some folks are just cursed. Or do they just bring it on themselves. What a mess.

I'm sure her tweets after Morrell quit didn't help her cause.
