Is this where we are headed?
First Story
The victim was female, the two offenders were female and the Judge was female – but the show is far from ladylike.
Two offenders Butts and Cunningham are sentenced to life, for the homicide of a three year old year – South Carolina.
In November of 2009, EMS was dispatched to 207 Congaree River Drive in the Lakes of Summerville subdivision around 7 p.m. Tuesday. Richardson was not breathing and was later pronounced dead at Summerville Medical Center.
According to police, Butts was caring for Serenity Richardson while her mother moved from Detroit. Cunningham and Butts were living together at the time of the girl’s death.
According to a written affidavit, Butts whipped the child with a belt for urinating on the floor. Medical staffers saw bruises and cuts all over the child’s chest, stomach, legs, arms, feet, back and head.
Is this why we can’t give women tougher sentences in New Zealand? We don’t want scenes like this in the court room.
Second Story
Mother arranges sex with her 5 year old daughter and a paedophile.
The woman, whose name is suppressed, was sentenced to four years and eight months jail after she pleaded guilty to indecently recording her daughter, distributing child exploitation material, engaging in conduct that may have harmed a child in her care and conspiring for the sexual penetration of a minor.
