Here's the latest news on this issue:

The artist has offered to paint for a church.

And she pleads Not Guilty......

A "not guilty" plea seems rather implausible, given the eye-witness views of the act, and the fact that it was seemingly done with pre-meditation - she apparently drove to the gallery with the specific intention of attacking the artwork. It seems like rather an "open and shut" case. I'm surprised that her legal advisers didn't advise her to plead guilty.

Exactly my thoughts Harry.

"She pleaded not guilty to the charge of criminal mischief..."

Presumably her plea depends on the definition of "criminal mischief"; e.g.

http://blog.timesunion.com/crime/jur...finition/4599/
"Steven Raucci is charged with seven counts of second-degree criminal mischief, which means a person has intended to damage property in excess of $1,500."

If the art work isn't worth $1,500, she wouldn't be guilty of second-degree criminal mischief.

She will say that she wasn't in her right mind at the time.

Plea Deal Arrived at:

http://www.9news.com/news/article.as...4571&catid=339

Prosecutors say 56-year-old Kathleen Folden, a truck driver from Kalispell, Mont., pleaded guilty to a class one misdemeanor count of criminal mischief.

Her attorney, Derek Samuelson, said the plea deal was just and appropriate.

Authorities say Folden will serve 18 months of unsupervised probation after she used an 18-inch crowbar to smash a Plexiglas case inside the Loveland Museum/Gallery on Oct. 6 and then destroyed a piece of artwork called "The Misadventures of Romantic Cannibals." ,.....

It sounds like she's got off very lightly. Although there's still the restitution hearing on Jan 28th. Hopefully she'll have to pay for the artwork.

how do you put a price on something like that?

happy_terd · 11-20-2010, 04:47 PM

Everything has a price.

It was one of 30 lithographs. Just see what the last one sold cost, or perhaps what the Art Gallery paid for the destroyed lithograph.
