yeah but most of it looks as if it was dismissed.
"In the hours that followed Cathy Cruz Marrero's appearance on 'Good Morning America' today to talk about the fall and its aftermath, she was in court for a status hearing on charges of five felony counts, including theft by deception and receiving stolen property," reports ABC News.
Turns out Marrero's been out on $7,500 bail since 2009, after being charged with running up more than $5,000 in purchases on a co-worker's credit card. No wonder she had a lawyer handy.
Marrero's next court date is April 21, and she's facing about six months of house arrest and electronic monitoring, according to the Reading Eagle.
Maybe some of it, but some still remains.....

As Ralph Nader should have written texting, Unsafe at any speed.
UPDATE: As Stacy Stutz, some lady I know from Facebook, just said: "It's all fun and games until it goes viral on YouTube" ... and you cry about it on TV and hint at launching a lawsuit, and the Streisand effect kicks in.

So all y'all talking about how if she just shut up and went on with her life, nobody would know it was her in the fountain —maybe six people recognized her — are more right than you realized. While it's unknown how many people knew about her alleged theft charges, we all sure know about it now.
:thumbsup: I do this too sometimes. In Folsom, the cops will ride between cars and nail people ALL THE TIME.Whenever I see that I just lay on the horn. Usually scares the living shit out the person because for a split second they think they're about to get bent.

I have texting disabled as well (I'm 23). I've received a lot of flak from it from my friends, but I don't care. I see the value in texting, but most other people want to turn texting into a full blown chat, and I wasn't going to be a part of it.
On the flip side, I also have texting disable purely on a financial principle. I refuse to pay outrageous prices (compared to a voice call) to send 255 character text messages. I just won't do it.
I think his gripe is with the ridiculous fees that cell providers charge for texting, not with the idea of communicating via text.
It's funny, I remember reading that it actually costs NASA less per kB to send data to the ISS (or maybe it was deep space probes and stuff like that) than major cellular providers charge for texting. Just to put things into perspective. The prices they charge are ridiculous, but I guess the only reason they can get away with it is because hordes of idiots are willing to pay for it. If prices were that out of line for most of the public, they'd speak with their wallets and just not pay for the service.
Text messages are actually sent in the extra space of control protocols (that's why the character limit). It costs them nothing to send text messages. Nothing.
