Horrible woman! She beat her son because he was sick, when he needed her the most. where is the compassion? where is the love? :cry:
I'm in shock. Just saw the news. 11 years, so with parole for good behaviour Rosdeep may serve about 6 or 7 years?
I can't help feeling that if Rosdeep had killed an adult in her family, she'd have got a longer sentence. It's almost as if being Mikaeel's parent has been used as a 'mitigating' circumstance for killing him. Dreadful. I really don't feel there's been justice for that little boy, in life or in death.
11 years!? You have got to be *advertiser censored****g kidding me, fuming ! :banghead:
Had it not been for your early plea of guilty to the reduced charge, and the indication at an even earlier stage that such a plea would be forthcoming, I would have sentenced you to 13 years imprisonment for the culpable homicide and a further two years for the attempt to defeat the ends of justice. That would have been 15 years in all.
But you are entitled to a substantial discount to reflect the saving in time and expense of a trial and, perhaps more relevant here, to reflect the fact that witnesses have not had to come to court to give evidence of a horrific and harrowing nature.
What?!? Since when do we absolve 'intelligent and articulate' (per judge's comments) adults of knowing that beating - hitting another, very small, human being over and over again could be life-threatening? Most reception students know better. It just defies logic.The Crown accept that you had no intention to kill Mikaeel. Although you knew you had harmed him, you did not realise and you could not reasonably have been expected to realise that beating him had put his life in danger.

Somehow, I doubt the lovely people who turned up in the cold day after day to search for a little boy lost would agree. And truly shocking, this:
