I remember this case from when it happened.
He deserved life, if you ask me.
This wasn't a "oops" type of deal here, by any stretch of the imagination. Body slamming a 6 year old is stupid yes, but accidents happen and kids do retarded shit. He wouldn't have served a day in jail if this was the case.
I don't remember all the details. But I do remember this little fuck BEAT THE SHIT out of this girl. Not one "move" gone bad. I mean like kicked, beat, and seriously was trying to injur her.
Someone should go pull up the old news items on this, I doubt many folks would feel any compassion towards him if they read those.
If it was an accident, then by all means jail is a worthless punishment. However, I don't believe it was in this case. If you purposefully injur someone and they die, then you deserve the book. Intent matters a lot to me.
