turnone Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Sounds fair. He will likely break probation and be out in jail. 10 years of drug testing is a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 We don't punish people for the result of their crimes - we punish the intent. If we punished the result then we'd never punish people for "attempted X" What he did was reckless, and he is culpable, but I suspect the court believed that at no point did he intend to hurt anyone. Plus, 10 years of probation and no alcohol/drugs will do much more to control him while allowing him to become productive in society.

madcat6183 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Heres another one, does the punishment fit the crime? HELL NO. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2013/10/16/marysville-shaken-baby-sentencing.html Anyone who has had a kid on here can attest they test your nerves, my wife and I didn't sleep more than 30 mins at a time from the day he come home from the hospital until he was almost 2 weeks old, and for her it was less than 30 mins at a time. Yet we never shook him. Why isn't this person put to death just like he killed the innocent 4 month old. Oh wait, the 4 month old was probably crying or screaming, that's right. Wait, maybe if they take a huge butcher knife and start removing limbs from that scumbucket he will do the same, then they can just put a bullet in his head. That'll stop the crying and screaming. Trust me I could think of worse ways I'd like him to die, but probably take this to NSFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
