She attended Yale University and George Washington Law, and then snagged a position as a patent attorney at Foley & Lardner. Once she decided she’d had enough of her litigious lifestyle, she quit and became a teacher.

And then, something happened. Ogilvie is currently being held without bond at the Albemarle Charlottesville Regional Jail on charges of burglary, abduction, and malicious wounding, all felonies, after allegedly breaking into a married man’s house and attacking his wife.

I wonder if working as a patent attorney contributed to her mental issues.

Claire says she knew it, she has studied a lot because she did not want to waste this opportunity and she saw it twice in the course of her studies. Then Meredith asks how would she have done with Grant's stack and Claire says that she is convinced that she was destined to go in Grant's spot because she would have seen the $100,000 without having to use a single lifeline.

Add one more. I hope she's gotten help or she's going to go back after she gets out. I've never heard of a probation that requires a person to leave the state.

Upon release from prison, Ogilvie must leave the state and live at least 100 miles from Charlottesville. Barring an emergency, she cannot stop within 100 miles of the city.

According to the article, they DID ban her from the state (after she's out of prison). Here's the quote:

Upon release from prison, Ogilvie must leave the state and live at least 100 miles from Charlottesville. Barring an emergency, she cannot stop within 100 miles of the city.

This appears to ban her from all of Virginia, and small portions of West Virginia and Maryland.

It also appears to say she can drive (or maybe even walk) anywhere she wants, as long as she doesn't stop. Which was probably not the intent.
