On December 18, 2007, a former beauty pageant contestant was indicted in
Arizona for kidnapping and threatening an ex-boyfriend. Kumari Fulbright is now facing charges of armed robbery, kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and aggravated assault. If convicted, Fulbright, a law school student, faces a lengthy prison sentence. She, along with three other men, are accused of tying up her ex-boyfriend, accusing him of stealing some of Fulbright’s jewelry, and threatening to kill him. Fulbright herself allegedly bit the man and threatened him with a butcher knife. They then moved the man to another home where he was guarded by a gun-wielding Fulbright until he was able to free one of his arms and make his escape. Police are still searching for two of the men involved (they are believed to have fled the country) while the third is in custody. Fulbright was able to post bond and was released.

What do you think could make someone who is a beauty pageant participant and second year law school student take part in such a crime, allegedly to get back some stolen jewelry? What should her sentence be if convicted?
