A high-profile Arizona case now has a sentence.
Laura Owens has been sentenced to 30 days in jail
and seven years of probation
in the case involving fabricated pregnancy claims against two men,
including former Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd.
Owens pleaded guilty in August to four felony counts,
including fraudulent schemes, perjury,
and taking the identity of another.
Prosecutors allege she fabricated pregnancy evidence,
altered an ultrasound image
and lied under oath during a legal fight with Eckard.
In court today, Owens addressed the judge,
Eckard also spoke, calling her dangerous.
I pleaded guilty to four felonies and I am profoundly,
profoundly sorry for the pain,
distress and expense that I've caused them.
Her tears if she brings any today are going
to be because she's fighting to keep herself
from being incarcerated.
Her tears aren't from empathy, they're not.
She doesn't feel sorry, she's just sorry she got caught.
If Owens violates her probation, she could face up to 12 years in jail.
