'McMissile' Mom Gets Probation

The 25-year-old military wife convicted of throwing a cup of ice into a car that cut her off on Interstate 95 in Virginia has been sentenced to probation.

Punishing her to jail time would have been a bit much, although what she did could have lead to dire consequences.

From the AP: "Jessica Hall of Jacksonville, N.C., has been in jail for more than a month since her bond was revoked by a Stafford County judge.

A jury had recommended that Hall serve two years in prison, but the judge noted today that Hall has no criminal record and placed her on probation for the felony conviction.

Hall's husband is in Iraq serving in the military. She admits flinging the cup of ice over her car into the other vehicle in anger after it cut her off twice in traffic. She says she was shocked by her conviction and concerned about her three young children.

After learning of her probated sentence, Hall thanked the judge and began to cry."
