Woman charged with finger-in-Wendy's-chili hoax

A woman who said she found a human finger in her bowl of Wendy's chili has been arrested and charged with attempted grand theft. It turns out that she is the one who planted the finger. The woman, Anna Ayala, costs Wendy's approxiamely $2.5 million in sales. Sales at some Wendy's outlets in northern California are reported to be down as much as 50 percent since the incident, and many employees have had to work reduced hours as a result. If convicted, Ayala could spend six years and two months in jail. Do you think this is a fair punishment?
