Ex-teacher who abused students asks judge not to send her to prison

FARMINGTON — "I am harmless. I am not a threat."

Those were among the comments written by Brianne Land Altice, 35, in a letter to a judge asking him not to send her to prison. She pleaded guilty last month to sexually abusing three students she taught at Davis High School.

"My family and I understand that the law and society expect a debt and retribution to be paid for the crime I pled guilty to," Altice wrote in a letter to 2nd District Judge Thomas Kay, sent from the Davis County Jail where she is being held.

"Some incarceration, probation and fine are likely. If more incarceration time is what you believe needs to happen, I ask that you PLEASE consider that it be further jail time not prison. This crime will not be repeated by me, I can guarantee."

I think this woman is in some pretty serious denial about the severity of her crime.
