Talbert. “I am deeply ashamed of myself for my behavior and I am very sorry for the pain I caused to my family, my friends, all the good people who suffered unnecessarily because of my story and those who worked so hard to help me. ». Papini said in a statement to The Post given through her lawyer, William Portanova. “I will work the rest of my life to make up for what I have done.” The court has not yet set a date on which Papini will plead guilty. It comes out with a $ 120,000 guarantee. It is unclear how long Papini will take, but she faces up to five years behind bars for making false statements and 20 years for mail fraud, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Eastern California said. “The actual sentence… will be determined at the discretion of the court, after taking into account any applicable legal factors and the Federal Conviction Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables,” the office said in a statement. Portanova, who took over the case in late March from Papini’s former defense attorney Michael Borges, told the Sacramento Bee that agreement on the objection was coming as “they are taking the case in a whole new direction”. “Everything that has happened in the past stops today,” Portanova said. Sherri Papini was facing up to 25 years in prison. Andrew Seng / The Sacramento Bee / AP Papini, 39, of Redding, was arrested March 3 after prosecutors said the mother of two lied when she told investigators she had been abducted at gunpoint by two Hispanic women and even gave a false description to an FBI cartoonist. She also told investigators that the women beat her, cut her blond hair and played mariachi music in the vehicle before it was finally released on Thanksgiving 2016. Captain Brian Jackson of Shasta County Sheriff’s Office told The Post that investigators worked tirelessly on both the 22 days Papini was considered missing and her Thanksgiving reappearance to reach that conclusion. “It’s a little late because it goes on for about six years, but at the end of the day, I think it’s a good start for her,” Jackson said in response to news of Papini’s objection agreement. “This case has caused great concern and concern not only to our community here in Shasta County, but has spread throughout the state of California and throughout the nation.” He added, “This instilled a fear in everyone in so many communities that it was completely unnecessary. I can only imagine the impact it had on individuals in certain groups, who were treated unfairly differently. Everyone became suspicious of each other. “There were just a lot of layers to what happened and it affected the whole community.” Authorities say Papini repaired everything and instead lived in an apartment in Costa Mesa, California with her ex-boyfriend James Reyes. According to the complaint, an honest bottle of green tea found in a Costa Mesa trash can matched Reyes’s DNA collected from Papini’s clothes, which eventually helped officials determine that he was with Reyes. Cell phone records also showed that Reyes exchanged text messages with Papini the morning he disappeared, prosecutors said in the criminal case. Sherri Papini leaves Sacramento County Jail after bail. Andri Tambunan for the New York Post Neither Reyes nor Papini’s husband, Keith, have been charged. Shasta County Sheriff Michael Johnson said last month that he believed the “super mom” did not act alone. “I will not be surprised,” Johnson told ABC’s “Good Morning America” ​​when asked March 7 if there were any possible new charges against Papini or anyone else close to the case. “I would not necessarily say I suspect it. He will go to the grand jury, he will denounce the accusations that they consider appropriate. “But I will certainly not be surprised, because she did not do it alone and other people are involved.” However, Jackson told The Post on Tuesday that he did not expect any more charges against him. “I think once the rest of the trial is over, we will have some clarity, but I do not anticipate at this stage that we will file charges against anyone else because we have much more clarity about what happened, especially after her statement,” Jackson said. “I do not expect there to be other charges, but if something happens, we will re-evaluate it and charge appropriately if it is within the law.” Federal prosecutors allege in court documents that Papini’s husband used about $ 8,212 in donations to an online fundraiser to repay some of his personal credit cards. GoFundMe’s “Bring Sherri Home” page raised a total of $ 49,070, prosecutors said. Sherri Papini was arrested on March 3 after prosecutors said she lied when she told investigators she had been abducted at gunpoint. Facebook Papini was also compensated more than $ 30,000 by a state compensation council based on the false history of her abduction. Jackson said there was no evidence that Keith Papini knew about the prank his wife was plotting. “As for Keith being held accountable for the use of that money, there must be some evidence that he knew the information Sherri provided early was not true,” Jackson said. “We looked at all this information and felt that Keith had no idea what was going on and we still insist on it.”
