She admitted to being Susan LeFevre, and she would have to serve the remainder of her sentence plus five more years for escaping. She told her story to the media and claimed that she only used drugs recreationally and was not a dealer like authorities said she was when first arrested. Her attorney had advised her to plead guilty back then, thinking the judge would be lenient since it was her first offense. Instead, she was sentenced to a lengthy prison term.LeFevre’s new attorney asked the judge to throw out her case because she had been a law-abiding citizen since escaping. The judge decided to show mercy and only gave her two years of probation for escaping but left the previous drug charge up to the Michigan parole board. The board surprisingly voted unanimously to set her free, claiming that she did what they wanted offenders to do, which was live a crime-free life once leaving prison.
