The Charges
Amanda got fined for breaking the park’s rules, though the court lowered the charges due to her honesty. She went to jail for four days, paid a sum in damages, and was barred from entering any national park or reserve for a year. She knows how lucky she was to survive such a scary attack. Many people who antagonized bears in such a manner weren’t as lucky as she was.
