The story does not provide evidence of attempted murder, that there was design; rather, the story provides evidence of accidental death contributed to, by the mother, her negligence.
That is all we have.
It is a serious abuse to charge somebody for what might have happened.
IF the police investigate further and IF they find sufficient evidence of ill will, THEN the level of charge may be raised; but even then it may not be raised, in the event of the prosecutor's discretion, the evidence is still to "thin" to support murder charges.
The burden is upon the state to have significant evidence.
Because the state has used the word "murder," the state may have some evidence, but none of it is in the story.
I assure you, that when you arrested by a zealous California state's attorney, for possession of a firearm about which you know that you associated no ill will --- but that squeaky ill-liberal from Berkeley intends to make an example of you --- that you will quickly grasp onto the nature of district attorneys' abuse of power.
To be arrested for something you have not done and charged even worse --- at a level beyond what honestly on the facts could be made --- you should not relish, nor for another.
My duty to you, is to protect you from the government's over-zealous application of power.
You may not wish it, and I am truly sorry for our differences thereupon.
Is it going to miraculously change from black to white before the information is released? Get real. She's a moron, white or black, sure, but arguing "relevance" over her race is just a stinking smokescreen.
There was another case in Detroit, a few years ago, in which a Wayne State University professor left his infant to fry in the car. He forgot that it was his turn to drop of the bother at daycare. The absent-minded professor was not charged, IIRC.
Jesus wept, or should have.
Usually 2-4 hours, again depending on how many and the length.
True- braids are often done in the home, in great part because it's cheaper than in salons. Many who are not licensed beauticians or who do other things for a living braid in their home or in the client's house.
You're right to be concerned, as dogs will generally die before humans when confined in a hot car. Humans sweat: we're "water-cooled." Dogs pant: they're "air-cooled." Depriving a dog of adequate ventilation at high temperatures will fry the critter's brain.
Of course, the same thing can happen to people eventually (especially young children,) hence the tragic story that started this thread.
It's kind of ironic how black activists made sure the race of someone can't be mentioned unless they happen to be white but then they turn around and start using names that give it away.
And if she can afford a hairstyle that takes 3 hours to do, she could well afford a baby sitter.
I don't think it is relevant, the only reason anyone can suspect she might be black is because it happened in Detroit, if it was some other city you couldn't make that assumption.
By today's standards that would be counter the the woman's "right" to reproduce. I agree with you but no judge would have the courage to withstand the PC firestorm.
We have a pair of brothers in our county named Lemonjello and Orangello. Guess where their names came from.
When the train reached the end of the line it was full of squalling untraceable unwanted babies.
