Abigail Kemp – the 25-year-old woman who recently pleaded guilty to carrying out six armed robberies of jewelry stores in five different states across the Southeast – testified against her three co-conspirators in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence, the Panama City News Herald reports.

According to the article, she described the details of the spree to the jurors and told them: “[The co-conspirators] made me feel good about myself — like I was part of something. I didn’t like what I was doing, but I liked the way they made me feel.”

The defense attorneys of the co-conspirators, however, painted a different picture of Kemp, arguing that she “repeatedly committed crimes before becoming a robber, and was a drug abuser and a scorned lover with a significant incentive to lie on the stand and implicate others in her crime.”

The article details the following exchange that took place between Kemp and a defense attorney:

DA: “What were you looking at before your agreement with the government?”

Kemp: “Life in prison.”

DA: “And that is vastly different from what you hope to receive with your cooperation.”

Kemp: “Correct.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
