  1. Casey Lynn Pacheco, I hope you enjoyed steeling and spending that money. Now at your young age, your life is ruined! Enjoy your time in jail. Now was it worth it?????

  2. Her life is ruined? That’s dumb. Hopefully she makes better decisions going forward

  3. Public opinion is a funny thing because the ones that are the first to throw stones are usually the ones usually have the most interesting lives and best values. And yes, that’s blatant sarcasm towards those who are holier-than-thou. What would the world do without you? But no need for an answer.

    • What was she to you, your daughter? This is an opinion and that’s why we live in the USA!

    • First off I stand corrected on my spelling. I should have typed stealing and not steeling. Just a typo for all that are so critical about my spelling. As far as you go Ed Freeman, I owned my own business, and our employees were paid well but I had about three employees steal cash from me. I had them arrested and have no mercy for people who steal from the hand that feeds them. For you to defend her makes me wonder what kind of past you have. She is old enough to know right from wrong.

  4. Based on the amount stolen vs the bond amount she’s in the negative. Stealing doesn’t pay!
