black girl in Paris Texas sentenced to 7 years for pushing hall monitor

I heard about this story on the Free Talk Live radio show and I could
hardly believe it.
Shaquanda Cotton, a 14 year old girl was sentenced to seven years in
prison for pushing a hall monitor at her middle school. She was
sentenced in March of 2006 and she has been in prison since then.
Since the other children in her juvenile prison are in there for crimes
that are alot more severe, she is so afraid of them that she has tried
to kill herself more than once according to a comment she made. Read
