It's quite common for a felon to get a "girlfriend" who has no criminal record for just this purpose (or to be a drug courier).
It's a shame that this news will be buried in a few newspapers and web sites. It will never reach the people who need to hear about it for deterrent effect. This kind of information needs to be on whatever TV shows and in whatever magazines naive young women read.
The length of the sentence is barely relevant. The woman will be labeled a felon for the rest of her life and will be lucky to get any honest minimum-wage job.

PA: Woman sentenced in straw purchase that led to LEO death
In federal court in Pennsylvania today a 25-year-old woman was sentenced to seven months in prison and six months of house arrest for lying on a form 4473.
The woman allegedly bought a pistol for her "boyfriend," who subsequently kidnapped his 9-year-old son and got into a high-speed chase and gunfight with police. One officer was killed, another was shot, and the "boyfriend" took a dirt nap.
