Earlier this month, Hoisington-Kite also was accused of violating her pretrial release agreement by contacting the inmate in jail.
In Facebook messages to the television station, Hoisington-Kite said she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and doesn’t have control of her actions. She said her medical documentation will be presented at sentencing, “where I hope and pray the judge will understand everyone has issues and that I’m not a criminal.”
