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.
Destroying what’s left of this family satisfies some primal urge in society, I guess.
Diaper bag. Loaded gun. 12 minutes.
On a park bench near where your child is playing…
Or sitting at the table next to yours at the restaurant…
Or in a pediatricians waiting room…
…right next to your child.
I don’t think you have kids (or generally good judgement or the ability to empathize, for the matter)
