   Here's what Cooper should do.  I, a nearly 70 year old white male, know   
   what is appropriate here.   
      
   Cooper should agree to cooperate with the DA, but only under a rather   
   unusual set of conditions.  He should say he'll cooperate *IF*, and *ONLY*   
   if, the DA agrees to prosecute the "Karen" on the lowest possible charge,   
   *and* to seek a sentence involving no incarceration.   
      
   Mr. Cooper apparently feels she has already paid a steep price, and I think   
   he's right.  She is virtually unemployable, at least for any position like   
   the prominent one she held with Franklin. But she should *not* escape   
   scot-free from the criminal system.  She committed a crime.  She *needs* to   
   pay, if only to discourage future "Karens."  A suspended sentence - or   
   maybe some community service - would be appropriate.  The key point is she   
   must be convicted, and Mr. Cooper needs to understand that.
