Not Stolen Valor, but just as sleazy and low. Her hair hung askew in curlers. Her shoes and reindeer socks mismatched. Heavy makeup was smeared on her face. Denver District Court Judge Anne Mansfield — presiding over jury selection June 28 — quickly dismissed the woman, who explained in disjointed speech, "I broke out of domestic violence in the military. And I have a lot of repercussions. One is post-traumatic stress disorder." Now Juror No. 4361 — published author and Denver cosmetologist Susan Cole — faces felony charges after allegedly bragging months later on a radio program that she fabricated the elaborate ruse to duck jury duty..... Months later, on the evening of Oct. 17, Mansfield was listening to callers describe avoiding jury duty on 850-KOA's Dave Logan Show and heard a familiar tale. A woman identifying herself as "Char from Denver" related how she'd shown up to court disheveled in an attempt to appear mentally ill, according to the affidavit.... What she couldn't produce, according to the affidavit, was proof she'd been diagnosed with PTSD. "Char went on to describe how she shared this experience with clients at her hair styling business, and that they all found the story amusing," according to the affidavit written by an investigator for the Denver District Attorney's Office. So his pathetic yotch in question is actually a hairdresser and author of a fruity self help book. She makes some claims about being manipulated by the military or that bad things happened while she was overseas with her husband.The bottom line is she was full of sh*t and disrespectful to those who actually do suffer with PTSD. So good on the judge for jack-slapping her and I hope Char Cole (seriously lady?) enjoys a few days in jail to ponder her sorry behavior.
