Laura confessed that losing her job has been a financial blow to her family. And yet, she harbors no ill will toward her former co-workers.

"I still love them," she said. "I don't hate anybody. I just want justice."

"I know I've got the truth in my heart," she said. "I'd not be out here this long if this were a lie. I know what I'm doing is the right thing."
