Woman Sentenced to Mental Health Facility | Green Bay News

A 47-year-old woman, Jerilyn Soto, just got sentenced for carjacking a hospital shuttle van at knifepoint — but instead of prison, she’s headed to a mental health facility for 12 years. Found guilty but not guilty by reason of mental disease, the judge ruled she lacked control or understanding at the time.

This case highlights the legal system’s delicate balance between justice and mental health care — she’ll receive treatment under strict institutional supervision for the next decade.
