Shambles...like all too many of your appeals...this is based on emotion.
Give it a break lad. There are 365.25 days in a year. Any holiday is just another day in the year.
Does it REALLY matter if she is convicted on January 03, or Christmas Eve? She has been charged...leave it to the courts to determine if she has violated the laws of your land.
She should have known better.
Sincerely,
