I haven’t missed much of anything in these cases because I’ve followed them. As was stated in post 32, “The exemption was eliminated by the legislature after the Hickmans’ indictment.”
The judge’s sentence may possibly be appealed because of that, we’ll see soon.
There was talk that they could be sentenced to probation and if sentenced to jail time it could be as little as 18 months.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy the judge did sentence them to 75 months and like you say, more time than that would have been better but I don’t think shooting them is appropriate.
I fully believe that baby would have survived had they taken him to a medical facility after birth.
I apologize. My initial post to you was harsh, without cause. As you can tell, the article brought up a personal interest. You noted that an exemption existed that the judge could have used and it was the longest sentence handed down in a case like this, so it was tough. Again, I apologize for my tone.
