I don’t get it. This woman is presumably damned sorry that her stupidity got her daughter killed. It’s a tragedy she’ll have to live with for the rest of her life, so WTF is gained by imprisoning her for 25 years? Seems unlikely that she’s potentially a repeat offender, so nobody is safer because Mariann Belair is in prison. This is just jackass sentencing, the very definition of cruel and unusual. Giver her probation and let her get on with her ruined life.

    Sounds like a clear cut case of Stand Your Ground. If you can’t defend your toys, you don’t deserve them. Good shoot.

      The best defence against a bad toddler with a gun is a good toddler with a gun.
