GV, you don't have to go too far away. This was from our own Grand Rapids Press yesterday, regarding a women that was being sentenced to 60 years in prison;
Winkler, 21, of Grand Rapids, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the July 2005 death of her 2-year-old daughter, Aiyana Cisneros. The little girl had a ruptured spleen, collapsed lung, lacerated liver, all but two ribs broken, a separated collarbone and injuries to her head. She had been sexually assaulted.
Kent County Circuit Judge James Redford said pictures of the victim's battered body "are images that will stay with me the rest of my life.
"It's unbelievable how horrible this poor child's life was at the end."
I happen to know this judge very well, and siting on cases like this have to make you want to just throw up sometimes.
There was another Michigan sentencing yesterday of a mom that beat her foster son to death with a hammer because "she hated him". She and her husband then went on TV saying he was missing, had the big manhunt, etc., all the time knowing exactly where his dead body was. The judge was choking up as she said it gave her great pleasure to sentence her to whatever long term she got.
Sick, sick, sick.
