Zahra was sick for weeks, according to EB. And...? You took her to a doctor because you knew she was seriously ill? Why not? What did EB do about it?
EB seems to be saying Zahra was going to die anyways. Just because this little girl was fighting for her life anyways does not make it a lighter offense that she died in your care.
AB could not possibly have worked that much that he couldn't look in and seek care for his daughter.
Wonder how their defense attorneys can spin this so they look like decent people. IMO, there's no excuse good enough to get either of them out of this.
ITA. There is no excuse for either of them and if he thinks saying she somehow stopped him checking on or helping his 'broody' daughter is gonna fly as a defense he's in for a very sharp wake up call.
