Ten years?! Huh. Well, there you have it. Regarding the Shayne Abegg starvation case — this has me so absolutely outraged.
A gal in Smokey Point gets her van carjacked with her kids inside, and the suspect gets 28 years. Good! It’s about time someone is sentenced appropriately. However, not to take away from the justice there, but Danny Jay Abegg and Marilea Rose Mitchell intentionally starve a child to near death and they could “possibly” get 10 years?! That just makes me want to wretch.
Why only 10 years? Is it due to the fact that it was one child instead of three? Why do we not have stronger and harsher sentencing? I know, I know … prison overcrowding.
Well, how about this? We have a space exploration program that spends billions. Why? To try and find if there is a possibility to explain where Mork and Alf came from? How about we take those billions and spend them on prisons?
Just think of the facilities we could have. Harsher sentencing is a must. You intentionally take a life, you get life. Rape — life. Child abuse — life.
It’s gotten to the point where I just can’t read this anymore. Now you have the attorney Dingledy “fighting” to get a reduced sentence? Are you out of your mind? Deputy Prosecutor Roe, please, for the love of all things, don’t let that happen. There has to be more. Everyone is always trying to find some loophole in the judicial system. Ten years is a spanking.
What’s going to be next? A five-year sentencing for jay-walking and community service for aggravated assault?
