Utah Beauty Queen Walks in Bombing Case - Update


Kendra McKenzie Gill

(Salt Lake County, Utah)
A former Utah beauty queen arrested on suspicion of throwing homemade bombs in a Salt Lake City suburb admitted to a lesser charge on Thursday, and was ordered to perform volunteer work, officials said.

Kendra McKenzie Gill, 18, entered a plea in abeyance in a district court to misdemeanor attempted possession of a chemical or incendiary device, according to a spokeswoman for the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office.

Under Utah law, a plea in abeyance allows a person to complete terms imposed by a court and eventually have charges dismissed without a conviction appearing on any criminal record.

"At the end of the day, this is not going to tarnish her sparkle," said Gill's attorney, Wally Bugden.
Gill was ordered to complete 200 hours of community service and fined $500. Reportedly, Gill's compatriots in crime will receive the same plea deal.

Read this yesterday and looked her up.
Face looked like she'd been doing a lot of crystal meth or smoking crack.

Really stupid even for an 18 yr old. Guess she is not to up on current events. I admitt Boston is a long way from Utah but even if it were 1850 the news would have reached there by now.

Reminds me of that girl who was blowing-up old toilets out in the woods, wonder what ever happened in that case?
