Liar Sentenced to 2 years Jail
June 26th 2006 06:54
Everybody lies from time to time. It’s just the way this world seems to work. Even the most honest of us do it. But I guess what matters is the degree to which you lie and the consequences of that lie on those around you. If you go too far, you could hurt someone. You could hurt yourself. You could even end up in jail...
Heather Faria learnt her lesson the hard way. She was a former high school teacher from Massachusetts who told a lie to family and friends that landed her a 2 year jail sentence. What was it all about ?
It started off as a little lie about not feeling too well. It ended up being a big fat pile of BS about how she had stomach cancer and couldn’t afford to pay for treatment. As a result, her friends and family raised over $50,000 to help their supposedly sick friend.
Now, you’d think at that point, the little voice inside of Faria’s head would have told her how dishonest, shameful and wrong this was. But no, instead, the 27 year old took the money and pretty much went wild. She went on a holiday, a shopping spree, bought herself a widescreen TV and some very expensive jewellery.
I guess the problem with telling one lie is that you have to tell another few to maintain the validity of the first. If you don’t cover every track, you are bound to get caught. Ms Faria’s mistake was telling friends she was receiving treatment from the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. But the Institute announced they had no such patient, and before you knew it Ms Faria was in court explaining herself to a lot of angry people.
Wonder if any of her friends will visit in her in jail...
