In the picture, Plum is unemployed, facing eviction from her apartment and has no alternative but to drop in on her sneaky cousin Vinnie of Vinnie’s Bail Bonds. The idea is to see if he needs an office assistant. Instead, Plum ends up being hired as a bailenforcement agent.
Her first case is to track down an old high school sweetheart, Joe Morelli (Jason O’Mara). He’s a bail skipper and a former cop, wanted for the murder of a drug dealer.
With help from the mysterious, streetwise Ranger (Daniel Sunjata), Plum finds Morelli, but soon discovers the case is more complicated than she thought.
Thrown in for good comedic measure is a possible informant and wisecracking prostitute (The View’s Sherri Shepherd) and Plum’s oddball grandmother (the Oscar-honoured Debbie Reynolds), who offer her observations, solicited and not.

… When Lucky [Cynthia White] told me she didn’t even see who shot Officer Faulkner, I asked her why she was “lying on that man” [Mumia Abu-Jamal]. She told me it was because for the police and vice threatened her life. Additionally, the police were giving her money for tricks. “The way she talked, we were talking “G’s” [$1,000.00]. She also said she was terrified of what the police would do to her if she didn’t say that Mumia shot Officer Faulkner. According to Lucky, the police told her they would consolidate all her cases and send her “up” (Muncy), a women’s prison, for a long time if she didn’t testify to what they told her to say. Lucky told me she had a lot of open cases and out-of-state warrants and was scared of going to Muncy. She was scared that her pimp “would get pissed off” at all the money he was losing when she was locked up, and off the street. She was afraid that when she got out he would beat her up or kill her.”

The 1996 horror comedy written by Quentin Tarantino (who penned the script based on Kurtzman’s story) stars Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis and a still-small-potatoes George Clooney, trapped in a roadhouse with vampire strippers.
Sick of “the traffic and the fires and the earthquakes and the floods” on the West Coast, Kurtzman packed up his wife and two young children and moved back to Crestline, known for producing football coaches, not horror-movie producers. To launch Creature Corps, he gutted and rebuilt the bowling alley where he used to go as a kid.
“I like living in a small town,” he says. “I like to ride my bike to work.”
Ingram, who migrated from Columbus, a moth to Kurtzman’s creative flame, is a five-minute cycle ride from the studio, too, though the bucolic burg — serene as Walden Pond, she says — isn’t exactly the place the up-and-coming effects artist imagined she’d land. “I mean, Hobby Lobby is our biggest art store,” she says.

Assistant public defender Jay Finkelstein argued that people convicted of much larger financial frauds received “single-digit” sentences. He asked the court for less than nine years in prison even though Jammie Harris, 47, a Pittsburgh woman who stole roughly $1.1 million after Manos-Becton told her about the accounting glitch, was sentenced to more than nine years in prison last year.
Bloch rejected any leniency and, instead, imposed the stiffest sentence possible under the guidelines, saying Manos-Becton “fails to acknowledge the tremendous role she played in the fraud against this financial institution.”
Veronica Smith, 56, of Pittsburgh, and Manos-Becton’s 25-year-old son, Dimitri Manos, of Coraopolis, have pleaded guilty to lesser roles in the scheme and are scheduled for sentencing Thursday.
Hull argued that Manos-Becton was a career criminal with convictions for burglary, robbery, drug offenses and prostitution _ not to mention more than 20 other convictions for fraud- or theft-related offenses. At the time of the Dwelling House fraud, she was on probation for Florida charges involving a weapons violation and sneaking contraband into a prison in that state, Hull said.
