It is simply unfathomable to me.
His reckless indifference to his child’s well-being led directly to her needless death. A slow and painful death, suffered by a two-year old who had no context for why she was feeling unwell at first. No context to grasp that the man who should have protected her instead willfully placed her in this furnace.
I grant that the mother has lost a child and is grieving. Yet I am completely flummoxed as to how her messages to CS, which absolutely disclose that she had knowledge of his child abuse, have gained ground with the judge in going so lightly on him.
Furthermore, I cannot conceive of how the mother is not partially culpable, as she has proven that she was aware of his speeding, drinking, and imprisoning and abandoning her own children and stepdaughter in cars.
My own flabbergasted opinion.
Agree -- shocking.
Definitely feels like the case is being piloted away from 1st-degree murder into Tragic Accident territory. Despite the growing evidence to the contrary. Very difficult to see equity in justice here -- especially given what we know of the testimony already provided by the surviving older daughters.
Have theft charges been filed?
