Edith had a lot to handle immediately–the abortion and the surgery on one of her fallopian tubes.

The surgery could introduce significant side effects. If Edith served her sentence in prison after the operation, her health would worsen, and she would likely suffer for the rest of her life.

Edith would be imprisoned for a year, but the sentence was deferred for two years. If she maintained good behavior and met other legal requirements during her probation, the judge might even dismiss her sentence entirely.
