Jessica Hall, mother of 3 children(ages 4, 6, and 8), wife of US soldier currently serving his 3rd tour in Iraq, was convicted by Stafford County Jury of Felony offense for maliciously throwing a “missile”(supersized McDonald’s drink) into an occupied vehicle.  The felony carries a minimum of 2 years jail sentence.
