He can't remember the details of what happened, says his lawyer, but funnily, he can remember the precise details of the points in play in the video game he was playing.

I suppose we need to be satisfied with the sentence and the resolution here, but real justice would be full restoration of health for Baby JW.

The defendant pays for 12 years. The baby pays for life.

Me, still processing.

At least he took responsibility. That's something.
