California Lawmaker Gets Probation in Shoplifting Case - ABC News

California Lawmaker Mary Hayashi, married to Judge Dennis Hayashi, steals $2,500 worth of merchandise, pays $180 fine, and walks. She serves no jail time, but agrees not to steal for the next three years.

The felony conviction for her arrest, which would have terminated her lawmaker position, was reduced to a misdemeanor. Therefore, she may continue in her position, and receive payment for her services to the public.
