Call her the Atherton burgler - she's been tried and convicted. Suspects don't get sentenced, only convicted criminals.

In this particular case, yes, it is very simple. As to the burglar's motives - I'm sure there are reams of complicated backstory worthy of understanding. That's a separate issue. My comment was directed at the weaseling headline; the lawsuit-driven use of the term "suspect," when, in fact, there is no longer a suspect, only a convicted and sentenced criminal.
[Editor's note: Good point. We changed the head on the story to: Woman sentenced for Atherton burglary. The head at the top of this thread will stay the same since that's what the comments are about. But if you click on the Web link, you will see the new head.]
