The judge was probably considering the possibility that if released on bond, the father might head to the hospital to induce an even deeper ‘coma’.
As gratifying as it is to see a pedophile get this kind of punishment, due process has to run it’s course as maddening as it is in a situation like this.
On the other hand, the State of Florida gave John Evander Couey (killer of Jessica Lunsford) a death sentence but God said “let’s speed up the process” and Couey died from colon cancer not too long ago.
There is no escaping justice in any event.
The trouble is, “due process” has been twisted to the point where it rarely gets the job done anymore, and these animals just keep getting off with either nothing or just a few months in jail, and go right back out and do it again. I agree that due process is how it SHOULD work, but until our justice system goes back to being serious about convicting dangerous criminals AND keeping them locked up after they’re convicted, vigilante justice is the only effective route available.
The Couey/Lunsford case hurt me personally for some reason
unlike no other. There was something about that little girl
and the way that she died that really tore me up and still
does.
