I haven't yet seen the complaint anywhere online. And I'm confused too:
In describing the count of torture filed against Warner, prosecutors alleged he acted unlawfully and with the intent to cause cruel and extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion and for a sadistic purpose.

It sure sounds like he had some sort of twisted thought in his head about something. That he took his "revenge" out on a helpless newborn speaks volumes about him. Quite the man. :furious: I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life.
The SCV Signal quotes the Criminal Complaint (RBBM) using the word "and"
ETA:
I have to correct myself after reading this post, which clears things up for me
Ok-- they were referring to the "torture" charge. Which is 206 CPC. But they didn't include a word that made a huge difference. It reads:
206. Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme
pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion,
or for any sadistic purpose,
inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture.
I think they are referring to the sadistic purpose.
Cuofrd,
Thank you for posting the ACTUAL statute! MSM may be what we rely on as a supporting link, but they sometimes masked mistakes.
I, in turn, made one in my OP. :blushing:
Anyhow, I stand by my comment on the criminal complaint (below):
So until we are able to access the CC for ourselves (? Perhaps one of the news media outlets will petition to release it via the Freedom of a Information Act? ) It is a catch-22; while it provides much needed clarity, as it can have other ramifications. Depending on how much information the media petitions to be released (what it contains, and what they do with it), it can cause the family great pain. It can also raise concerns regarding jury pool contamination, which the defense can take issue with on appeal. :moo:
I've been lurking since the news of the charges were raised. I saw one ABC7 Facebook post had over 10,000 comments, and they do not appear to be censored nor moderated. The community's reaction is visceral - and understandable.
I am still shell-shocked. I haven't been able to sleep, and when I do, I have nightmares about this case. I've been crying off and on, and I honestly feel like I am in mourning.
I am bracingly myself for the next update. I encourage you to watch the embedded video at the link above. "The Jump" is a segment by the reporters at The Signal covering the case. They're on the front lines.
The level of depravity we've seen in this case is the worst of the worst (They said top five of all time, IIRC). It was like a punch in the gut, I guess because it's the truth. :hearno:
What kind of world are my girls growing up in that we can even say such a thing?
Isabella Grogan-Canella, Baby Angelica, Owen Collins, and now precious little Baby Ellorah Rose Warner.
This must stop! Because, I must reconcile the other reality: these are the cases that made the news. How many other victims are suffering in silence?
I've been a :websleuther: long enough to know there have to be more. :moo:
I've said this before: EVERY CHILD MATTERS!
So, what do we do now? How do we ensure justice, when the death penalty is already OFF the table for a crime so heinous I can't even speak on it?
Why do I already feel like I've failed a little tiny baby who had a lifetime of unreached, unfulfilled milestones?
Why? Someone, tell me, WHY?!
:tears:
