Yet they ignore Section 827.11 of the Florida staute that specifically states that a child's death/corpse must be reported within 2 hours. This is even specifically mentioned in Caylee's law; which corresponds to this specific offense.
I think they cut the bitch a break!
That she should have been charged with if the law has already been passed. Agree. Also agree that it's a good law.
Aside from failure to report, I don't think other charges would have been valid. JMO.
What if she'd been Suzy Homemaker who had a late term still born, got emotionally freaked out by something so traumatic, and did the same thing? Only difference between the two scenarios, in my mind, is that Ms. Smallwood is not Suzy Homemaker. The investigation uncovered no intent and the ME said "natural causes".
Maybe they did cut her a break on the failure to report. If so, wonder why?
