GUILTY FL - Rilya Wilson, 5, Miami, 18 Jan 2001

Weintraub said the other convictions would likely keep Graham locked up for life even without the murder conviction.

It's justice. It is not what I wished for Rilya, but I will be satisfied if the :censored: is behind bars for life.

Even time I see the picture of Rilya posted above in that torn shirt I think she deserved so much more. When I think about how many people would have taken her in, loved her and given her the life she deserved.... When I am reminded that she was taken away from a loving foster family, it just breaks my heart for her.

Sleep peacefully Rilya. :rose:

Bumping as a reminder sentencing is February 12th.

http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/Geralyn-Graham-Faces-Sentencing-in-Rilya-Wilson-Case-190836181.html

Caretaker of missing girl sentenced after being found guilty of kidnapping, child abuse

The South Florida woman convicted of kidnapping and child abuse in the case of missing 4-year-old Rilya Wilson was sentenced to 55 years behind bars Tuesday.

Geralyn Graham, 67, was sentenced to 30 years on the kidnapping charge, followed by a consecutive term of 25 years for two counts of aggravated child abuse, Circuit Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez ruled.

"For you Ms. Graham, the jury has spoken. You have been found to be the person responsible for the senseless, cruel and inhumane acts directed toward this innocent and defenseless child, Rilya Wilson," Tinkler Mendez said. "You are responsible for inflicting unimaginable pain and for instilling fear in this child and for repeatedly abusing this child."

I can live with this...hopefully she'll be in prison for the rest of her life....and she talked at the sentencing but who cares? There's a video...

very sad about no murder charge but she will at least die in prison....provided that she does not have her sentence shortened.

Appeals Court Upholds Convictions In Rilya Wilson Case

Jan 2015:

For her crucial testimony in the high-profile case of a murdered Miami foster child, inmate Robin Lunceford got to walk free from a life prison sentence in May 2013.

Her freedom was fleeting.

Records show Lunceford, 52, absconded from her probation before she was arrested in Tennessee earlier this month...

The arrest adds yet another twist to the story of Lunceford, a convicted armed robber, notorious prison escape artist and a prolific jailhouse snitch who has been listed as a witness in numerous murder cases over the years.
