I consider it murder. How is she only getting four years?
Dear Nifster,
I concur. it IS Murder, and yes, why ONLY 4 years?
There is a lot that has not been covered. The infirmities that do visit upon children are not the fault of those children, at all. Thereby, waiting 28 years to commit a murder is premeditated.
Gangbangers murdering for profit are often shortly released.
Yes, a crime was committed, it is the circumstances.
They said Bonnie cared tirelessly for her 27-year-old daughter Courtney, who was profoundly disabled by cerebral palsy and unable to communicate, eat or bathe herself.
Bonnie believed she was near death last May, and she told the court she didn’t believe anyone would care for her daughter when she was gone.
In court, she read a statement to the judge: “I had no one to fill my shoes. And the thought of her living in an institution was more than I could bear. The only place I knew she would be safe and happy was in heaven with me. I pray every day some day we will be together again.”
Her attorney told the judge Liltz suffers from cancer and she believed her death was imminent on the night she admits giving her daughter a lethal dose of pills. She also took them herself in an apparent suicide attempt.
