Teen gets sympathy from court after killing baby, could be released in 76 days.

Cata, I am not saying she deserves the death penalty, or even life. I want her to get at least ten years. But am I wrong to assume she is just lying?

Sorry, you have to be mentally retarded to not know you are pregnant, or that the living thing that just fell out of your body is a baby. She is not mentally retarded, and she is perfectly stable. Anyone can lie. She is lying. This has nothing to do with my conservatism. Stop bringing politics up in every post. You are no worse than what you claim to despise. You automatically assume you know what my real intentions are.

I do not believe in an eye for an eye in all cases, and this is not one of them. I do believe in punishment though. Here in America, we do not let people get away with crimes without punishment, unless they flee and are never found. This is no exeption to the rule.

She should be charged with manslaughter which is killing someone without intent. I think it's 10-15 years in prison and it's just enough time for her to gain a level of responsibility. Hopefully with age she matures to a level where she's fit to live within the confines of the law. Not to just find herself in a situation which is inconvenient and then do the DUMBEST of things and cry about it later.

Some woman thought she'd ate a dodgy sausage and it was a child. Every so often women get pregnant but do not show. Quite bizaare. They says it's because it lies very low in the womb so it is near the pelvis...

Have you ever stopped to think what that actually means? It makes a stronger case for 'an eye for an eye' than against it.

Sorry. I just can't stand cynicism. I grew up surrounded by cynics, and I learned to resent people's assumptions about other people. I don't want to be one of those people who (along with the rest of society) thumbs his nose on what turns out to be a good man. Sometimes society as a whole rushes to judgment. Sometimes I hate society, even though I love certain people within it.

There isn't always an ulterior motive to everything someone does. Sometimes it's just happenstance.

Huh?
