Rampant Abuse and Murders of Children

[Cowboy_ron]

I understand the sentiment Cowboy, but I don't think even Texas would charge the defendants with capital crimes and apply the death penalty to a negligent homicide case.

I think intent would be required, which doesn't appear to be the case with the dipshit couple from Washington who neglected their baby to death.

I do believe that y'all would kill the shit outta Ryan Lawrence for murdering his baby girl with premeditation though -- if a defense attorney doesn't convince a jury he's mentally unfit.

You could very well be right, however I do know that crimes involving children are looked at differently........it appears that the prosecutor might have gotten cold feet. In Texas depending on what jurisdiction it is, some of the backwoods "good ole boy" type of DA's could convince a jury of laid off fast food workers that there indeed was intent of dehydration, and malnutrition and neglect.
