DENVER (AP) — A Colorado woman convicted of plotting to kidnap her son from foster care after associating with supporters of the Qanon conspiracy theory was sentenced Thursday to 60 days in jail and two years of supervised probation, after being reprimanded by the judge for a lack of remorse.

Given a chance to speak and take responsibility, Cynthia Abcug, 53, instead said she was glad her son was doing well and asked District Judge Patricia Herron to give her probation so she could continue getting therapy, working and studying for a law degree.

That drew a strong rebuke from Herron. who said Abcug still sees herself as a victim and could pose a danger again because of that mindset.

“I don’t hear a single word from you on the impact you had on the foster family by putting that plan in place,” said Herron, noting that the lack of accountability could be because of legal appeals she is pursuing.

1. If you were so PO'd, why did you only give her 60 days?

3. Misdemeanor convictions with sentencing guidelines, further explained in paragraph 10.

Herron said she wanted to sentence Abcug to prison but decided against it because it might actually lead to her getting released faster and without strict conditions of supervision once she is out since the kidnapping plot, which wasn't carried out, isn't considered a violent crime.

2. She made her child sick.

Could she get a plea for having Munchausen syndrome? I hope not. Also, she deserves more time behind bars than 60 days!

4. How is this a Qanon kidnapping plot?

Doesn’t it predate her Qanon association?
