A Washington County hairstylist who claims she didn't know a .38-caliber handgun was a "deadly weapon" will spend five to 20 years in prison for shooting a dissatisfied client in the lower back.
Forty-year-old Monique Reed, of Washington, was convicted in May on aggravated assault and other charges in the March 6, 2008, shooting of 28-year-old Lauren Newton.
Police say Ms. Reed shot Ms. Newton when she scuffled with the customer and her sister about a hair weave Ms. Reed did for Ms. Newton. Ms. Newton has recovered from her wound.
Ms. Reed says she fired two shots because the Ms. Newton sisters jumped her and didn't realize "a .38-caliber could be considered a deadly weapon."
Ms. Reed told the judge who sentenced her yesterday, "That .38-caliber didn't even take her down."
Now from November, 2008 was Monique pulling the lever for the hope and change candidate or that four more years of Bush candidate?
