Coed avoids jail for trespassing BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 11 (UPI) -- A Colorado coed who said she was under the influence of a date rape drug when she walked into a stranger's home and was shot saw her sentence deferred. Zoey Ripple, 21, a University of Colorado graduate, had been drinking and, her lawyer says, she'd been drugged, prior to breaking into a home owned by Timothy Justice and Doreen Orion and walking into the couple's bedroom as they slept. Justice shot Ripple in the hip after warning her multiple times he would shoot her if she didn't leave, prosecutors said. The Boulder, Colo., Daily Camera reported Wednesday Ripple pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal trespassing, a felony, and a judge agreed to defer her sentence for 18 months, meaning if Ripple avoids any further legal trouble she will not have to go to jail. She is also required to undergo alcohol counseling and is not allowed to drink, things Ripple lawyer Colette Cribari said her client has already done. "She's been portrayed as this dumb drunk who wandered into someone's house," Cribari said. This is not who Zoey Ripple is.
