Streaking in a known heavily patrolled area, fighting the cops, insulting the judge… and she only got 42 months? That was one lenient judge. She should have gotten 10 years Strict.
Well, her friend is a little annoyed that her support is being denigrated, so she is perhaps a little uncharitable in her wording. The police patrol fraternity row as that is where a lot of streaking occurs, but judges tend to be more lenient because of the location. “Fought” is probably a little strong for what she did; “struggled with” might be more accurate. The insult was under her breath, nd she apologized when she realized the judge had heard it, but since he had called her on it he felt it was incumbent on him to give some punishment. Since the standard punishment for streaking is one year (and sometimes less on that street) 3½ times the basic is not unreasonable.
If I were the judge, even using your sentencing standards above, I’d offer her an alternative. Seeing as how this all stems from her voluntarily getting naked in public, she can have the opportunity to register on the spot – max term / Strict PN. If she takes that option, case dismissed/expunged – no record.
