ATLANTA (AP) - February 7, 2007 - A Georgia man has admitted forcing his young children to eat soup laced with hot peppers, lighter fluid and prescription drugs.
Authorities say William Cunningham served the poisoned soup to his three-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter in an attempt to extort money from the Campbell Soup Company. The children recovered after being hospitalized twice last year.
Under a plea deal, Cunningham faces up to five years in federal prison.
According to prosecutors, Cunningham called Campbell and threatened to sue.

And no charges for what he did to THE KIDS. Only to Campbell's Soup Company.
Idiots.

Note to self: Don't look at any more caption Hillary pictures before breakfast. My thoughts as well. This isn't attempted extortion, it's attempted murder!

No children deserve that father. I pray they are given a fresh start somewhere else.
To: BibChr
Up to five years? What the H is wrong with our system? My thoughts exactly. . .
. . .did they think the kid's would miss their father or what? Why didn't this - whomever-what - lace the soup and take it himself. A trip or two to the hospital; he could have proceeded with'business as usual'.
Wish he had; and wish as well, he had miscalculated; overdosed and was no longer here to enjoy working out with weights in prison; while looking forward to his freedom in about. . ..eighteen months.

Maybe they felt sorry for him because he almost became childless.

Don't expect me to make sense out of it. He should have been fed his own soup, with adjustments made for adult dosage.

This clown probably can vote, too.
American society is increasingly scary. The "ultimate" freedom and right: the right of the functionally insane to be treated as normal human beings.

"well, I'm not big on lighter fluid and Rx drugs, but I do like hot peppers."Improved the flavor, no doubt.
To: isom35
Agreed...and some of the "additions" to my food have gotten me asked if I was trying to poison everyone.
