This woman has to be a moron.

She should be made to do some time. We had a guy up in Waltham MA

who went back to his former place of employment and whacked 7 of his old co-workers.

5 months in the slammer would bring her around!

In what sense? That someone would be this stupid to send such a letter to begin with? Or that they think it's a good "joke?"

Side-effects of medication can affect emotional balance.

However, I agree that the sentence is too lenient.
I'd prefer to see a judgement that at least ordered a re-evaluation of her professional competency while she continued medical treatment.
