Actual Picture of Emily Coakley

FBI agents examined the 38 Revolver but doubt it was loaded. Many witnesses claim she did not look like she was in her right mind and some witnesses felt sympathy for the woman. The 86 year old woman has been charged with Aggravated assault, weapons charges and robbery. One witness had no sympathy and said, "Many people could have been hurt, their are kids here, what would have happened if a bullet was shot!" One news reporter said, "In my 40 plus years of reporting I have never seen a case like this." What do you think, should she be let off with a warning?
