“You are no hero. You abused your position – and you’re a charlatan who used, and is still using your prior position to peddle a snake oil that’s been proven to be junk time and time again,” said Judge Barrett. “Your lies are well-documented and these convictions are serious. I’m convinced you’d do it all over again if you could.” Judge Barrett added: “You’re as defiant as a defendant as this court has ever seen.”

She deserves the full nine years.
