Casey Nocket sentenced for making her mark!

In 2014 a young woman named Casey Nocket went on a cross country trip and wanted to leave her mark on the world. In her infantile wisdom she decided to do that by defacing our national lands with graffiti.

She recently pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years probation, during which she is not allowed to set foot in national parks or land administered by the Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.

She was also required to write a formal apology to the National Parks Service to make amends and acknowledge the harm she inflicted.

As additional punishment she is expected to complete 200 hours of community service and pay restitution for the cleanup effort.

It is yet to be determined the total amount of restitution she will pay. Most of the graffiti has been removed but there are still two locations where it has not due to concerns of the removal causing further damage.

Personally I am glad that they didn't let her off without punishment.

This "punishment" is a joke, She can write a thousand page appology, but that doesn't mean she is truly appologetic for her actions, and 200 hours of service is next to worthless, you get that much for shop lifting at a WalMart,the following would be better served;
1. 90 Days in Jail
2. 1000 hours of service, At the very places she defaced
3. Pay the Total amount of removing the graffiti
4. Serve as an annual Volunteer at a NF, NP COE, or BLM campground, for 5 years.
