I remember this story. I would have liked to see her get more jail time and this story get more air time.

I know, so would I.
I tried to find a photo (again), but still no dice.

"I just can't put words in my client's mouth," he said. "I know there are things she would have liked to say." Yeah - I wish I was never caught!

There was a similar story here in Boston where a woman "faked" having terminal cancer and thousands of dollars were raised on her behalf. Local citizens even staged a benefit road race in her honor. The woman used the money to live a lavish lifestyle including a new car and breast implants!
I think this woman also had to serve some jail time which in my opinion is most appropriate.

Of course she moved to California, where that type of caper is rewarded with talk show spots, celebrity phone calls, and the cover of People mag.

Whew, if North Carolina didn't have bad, embarassing news, we'd have no news at all.

Another Jesse JackAsson follower. I say she deserves HARD TIME. If these kind of things get people 10-20 years for doing in for real, then the Fakers that are doing it for publicity deserve the SAME TIME!

Wanna bet this won't make it on CNN, ABC, et al?

"I know there are things she would have liked to say."
I meant to hurt all white people and race relations in general. Instead, I only hurt myself. For this I am truly sorry.

Please note that she WAS FROM EOMEWHERE ELSE! The nuts and fruits in our state are raised "mainly on the plain", so to speak.

Wanna bet this won't make it on CNN, ABC, et al? Not even with a Democrat's money.
Well... okay, maybe then.

At least this one didn't smear herself with feces.

Jaelyn Sealey, a former North Carolina woman who admitted she staged a hate crime at her home more than two years ago to collect insurance money, wept as she was sentenced to six months in prison. Bwahahahahaha! Oops, sorry, is mean-spirited laughing at this person a "hate crime"? I'm sorry, but trying to rip off your insurance company and blame it on those EvilWhiteRacists wins you the Jessie Jackson/Cynthia McKinney Award for Portraying Negative Racial Sterotypes.

You are right, but why do they seem to end up here? Remember Paula Jones? Moved to Long Beach.
To: Constitution Day
Sealey,...admitted to using gasoline to burn her 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier in her driveway and to painting a racial epithet on a metal garage door.In exchange for her plea, the government agreed to drop one count of using a firearm to commit a felony.
I saw gasoline, I saw spray paint, but WHERE DID SHE USE A FIREARM???
Don't get me wrong, I don't like what she did. But was this a bogus charge used to coerce a guilty plea? If so, such tactics won't stop with her, rest assured.

Good Lord.
Too bad Massachusetts doesn't use the pillory and stocks anymore.

I think it's a typo.
A Front Page Magazine story from 2001 says:
Woman Charged with Faking Hate Crimes
Sealey, 33, faces four counts of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud, two counts of making false statements to federal authorities and one count of using fire to commit a felony, according to the indictment filed in Charlotte.
