Pair jailed over kid's death in snake attack

[twodogs]

Chris...""OMG, thats waaaaay too harsh,..

sure, theyre irresponsible, lazy and probably stupid, but that doesnt make them cold blooded killers or evil,.... """"""


Yeah, chris, that's way to harsh. That 2 year old child isn't really worth all that trouble was she.? It was only a kid, so it doesn't count?????

But on a serious note, I would like to know, how can they be charged with 2nd degree murder and manslaughter? Wouldn't it be either one or the other??

Twodogs
If someone robs a bank and shoots a bank teller that is murder and they get between 7 and 10 years
If a drunk driver without a licence in an unregistered car runs into a car full of kids they often get a fine and suspended sentence and that is usually classed as manslaughter
If neglectful parents let a child starve to death it is an unfortunate incident and they may lose their remaining kids for a few weeks until DOCs give them back and say 'Please dont starve these ones"
If someones pet dog or cat kills their kid it is called an accident/incident

Yet a snake gets out of an open enclosure and kills a kid and that is 2nd degree murder???

This whole farce was just a District Attorney trying to get publicity
He must have been due for re-election soon

They got charged and sentenced so harshly because there was a public uproar in Florida because Casey Anthony, a woman who did murder her child, was set free by a jury not long before. As for nothing happening if a dog kills a child, unlike the snake that was deemed not responsible and allowed to live, the dog is destroyed.

Is she the one that had her daughter in the boot of her car, and later buried her in the woods? She didn't report the kid missing, the kids grandparents did? Can't believe she got off!!

Yes that's the one.

That last sentence shows the stupidity of the whole thing
They kill a pet dog that attacks a human but usually ignore the owners?????
Yet they jail the owners of a pet snake that kills

Just a complete double standard that would be very hard to equal
