Lyin' nigga ho' "Woman" accused of falsely reporting she was abducted after seeing child on road seeks to avoid jail

HOOVER, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama woman accused of falsely telling
police she was abducted after stopping to check on a toddler
wandering along the highway is appealing her municipal court
conviction in an effort to avoid a yearlong jail sentence sought by
prosecutors.

A municipal judge on Wednesday found Carlee Russell, 26, guilty of
misdemeanor charges of false reporting to law enforcement and
falsely reporting an incident. The guilty judgement came after
Russell’s attorneys agreed to “stipulate and appeal” the case — a
legal maneuver to move the case to circuit court where proceedings
will start anew.

Russell’s summer disappearance — and her story of being abducted
after stopping her car to check on the child — captivated the nation
before police called it a hoax.

Flanked by her family and attorneys, Russell made her first court
appearance Wednesday amid a heavy media presence, news outlets
reported.
