GUILTY OH - Dylan Groves, 4 months, found dead in bottom of well, Otway, June 2019 *parents arrested*

Does anyone know if Daniel Jr has any family to look after him ? How awful this must be for him :'(

Per his testimony he lives with his aunt and uncle.

So 15 yrs to Life for Daniel and the rest is concurrent which is at the same time. Not enough! imo

no he has many consecutive sentences totally 47....

Sad that taxpayers will be paying for appeal for these worthless people....the current attorneys don't want to continiue.

The Prosecutor just said on Court TV that Daniel is eligible for parole at 15 yrs. I knew I heard 15 to life!

Hm....why did the judge say 47 then? What good is saying 47 if he can get parole at 15? Earlier on CourtTV they said he'd be 89 before he was eligible for parole.....

36 mo

8 years = 47 years to life

Jessica Groves sentenced:
LWOP

36 mo

8 years
8 years = LWOP + 32 years

We will have to agree to disagree. Believe me he needs to not get out! I am just going by what I heard.

 

[turaj]

tippy lynn has it spelled out above.

 

[turaj]

the judge made note of the fact that he saw no genuine remorse from either of them.

God Bless and keep Baby Dylan. I can't stop the tears from pouring over that little angel. This case made me so angry and sad. All he needed and deserved was love and care. There are so many unanswered questions--none of it makes sense. None of it!

Verdict

Sentencing

 

[turaj]

It was all made even worse that everyone involved including family services etc. could not stop this...and to have a lovely woman like Andrea that clearly loved little Dylan just a phone call away and they did nothing.

Glad the Verdict came in quickly as most expected.

Jury gets another one right - Guilty as charged

I’ve been watching this case since it started but school got in the way today so I just got done watching. The fact that today would have been Dylan’s first birthday makes my heart ache but I am relieved he got some justice.

Quick question that may be a little dumb, but why merge charges for sentencing? That part confused me a bit. Wouldn’t the prosecution want as many charges out there for a higher sentence? Or am I missing something?

What was the point in taking this to trial? The mother was pleading guilty--did she think that the jury would view her having been a drug addict as a mitigating factor for her gross negligence and abuse of this tiny angel and she would get a lesser sentence? I don't get it

I was wondering this too. The defense made it seem like it was all to protect DG...but that clearly didn’t turn out very well. It almost seemed like their big evidence to support this was Jessica’s testimony which was a waste of time and pretty useless. Like “I don’t remember what happened, but I know it was an accident. How do I know? I don’t remember. But Daniel wasn’t involved. Involved in what? I don’t remember.” So annoying and disrespectful to the jury’s time.

All moo, of course!
