I don’t get it. This woman is presumably damned sorry that her stupidity got her daughter killed. It’s a tragedy she’ll have to live with for the rest of her life, so WTF is gained by imprisoning her for 25 years? Seems unlikely that she’s potentially a repeat offender, so nobody is safer because Mariann Belair is in prison. This is just jackass sentencing, the very definition of cruel and unusual. Giver her probation and let her get on with her ruined life.
what’s your basis for saying she’s sorry? the parents of that school shooter who were just imprisoned were pretty loudly sure they bore no responsibility
and I’m not saying she doesn’t, I’m asking because I’m asking
Humanity?
Certainly willing to reconsider if she swears under oath that she has no regrets, but sorry seem like a safe assumption.
