That was sort of the judge's point, I'd say.
What the lawyer SHOULD HAVE SAID (and I say this with my vast experience of exactly no legal training and no experience in arguing before a court

) is that she STARTED OUT here wanting the American Dream, never INTENDED to break any laws (because, your honor, as we all know, that is NOT how to chase the American Dream, no sir-ee Bob!), and THEN she went astray, fell in a dark place, now sees the error of her ways...blah...blah...remorse, responsibility, back on the path, never do it again, etc.
