MIAMI — A woman who gained notoriety for flipping off a judge last month is now receiving praise.
Penelope Soto, 18, flipped the bird in open court during a drug possession hearing. The judge responded in kind, giving her 30 days in jail.
Soto apologized to the judge for her behavior, calling it irrational, according to CNN. She was released and oredered to a drug treatment program.
A more polite young woman appeared before a different judge on Monday morning, impressing him by passing all of her drug tests. Soto is regularly attending Narcotics Anonymous.
If she continues her good work, the charge against her will be dropped.
