A Kansas foster father who mistakenly left a 10-month-old baby girl to die in his hot car has been charged with first-degree murder. Seth Jackson's lawyer said that the felony charge was far too strict for his client, who only remembered the baby was inside the car two hours later when something on TV jogged his memory.
'Rather high for a mistake,' attorney John Stang told NBC of the murder charge, which carries a life sentence with a minimum of 20 years in prison.
'I'm not trying to say it's not a horrible loss. The death of a child is an awful thing. But this person is looking at 15 more years than someone who was driving drunk and ran into a car and killed someone.'

You don't forget your kid. I think it is interesting that the boys are alive and the girl is dead. Maybe the girl didn't appeal.
I was a passenger or driver, as many here have of cars without airbags for decades, and I’m still here...............too some peoples sorrow. As far as I know it has been possible to turn off the passenger side air bag for a very long time, however it is the law the demands where the car seat is placed and nanny state can be quite determined to punitively punish violators, oh unless you are of the protected class then you get free seats and instruction and a tip of the hat.
Two Hours later the child was DEAD Mr. Scumbag Lawyer!
Before airbags kids did indeed die in hot cars. It was less but it happened. Having the child in the back seat may be part of it or it may just be an excuse.
“no memory of the 50s, 60s and 70s
Yeah, when cars were not as safe and somehow babies weren’t frying in back seat car seats.”
And my little brother walked around with a goose egg on his forehead from hitting the dash board. My mom was holding him, but my dad hit the breaks a little too fast.
The older brother was riding in the back window and rolled on top my me and my sister. We saved him from flying into the front seat. Normal everyday 1960’s.

The “New Normal.”
Related to Perez Hilton?
Good I thought when he played the homo card he would get off scot free.
How anybody forgets their kid in a hot car is beyond me.
Those two need an extra-large Castanza Family Bro. Who in their right mind would hand over innocent babes to these two fools?
That’s what I was thinking.
I think it was the feds who pushed the “kids in the back” thing...
Oh, yes. Remember the days when Dad brought home a new car (you know, once every 20 years) and the entire neighborhood would pour in for a drive around the block - including the family dog? It was especially exciting if it was a station wagon with wood paneling.
It really was - for some of us - Leave It To Beaver.
We could start a whole other thread on what tv show this putz was watching that “jogged his memory.” Personally, I shudder to think.
No, they don't. On vehicles required to have air bags, only certain vehicles have a way to turn off the front passenger air bag (pickups with no rear seat, two-seaters like the SMART car, or cars/trucks with rear seats that are too small to accommodate a rear-facing child safety seat).
The law does allow the consumer of the vehicle to install one in the non-exempt vehicles, but not the manufacturer.
Which, in reality, would do nothing but cause her arm to be sandwiched between the kid and the dash in anything more than a low-speed crash.
I see they still have the two little boys, but they let the little girl die. Makes you wonder if it was truly a mistake.
Gee, I didn’t know that my mom’s arm was ineffective. Thanks for telling me!
I could be wrong, but I don’t think drug use, as such, is a crime, at least in most states. Possession is a crime, and sale is a more serious crime.
Of course, it’s pretty difficult to use drugs without being in possession, so very possibly I’m just digging away at a nit here. :)
This story is get darker by the moment. Let’s see if they take the kids away from them.
