People around the country pitied her and criticized Oklahoma's judicial system.

"My original sentence was 12 years behind a blunt with no priors. That was Heartbreaking," she said.  

Her mother, Delita Starr raised her four children.

"I believe that Tricia learned a lot in there. They blew it way out of proportion. That is not what took place. I'm on a 30 year probation sentence. I do random [urine analysis] and hair follicle samples. The judge portrayed us to be the biggest drug dealers in town and that is not the case we just live," Starr said.
