When the story broke I had to read the article a couple of times to get my head around it.
Aren't we going to see sentencing soon in the trial?

life for the bloke super no parole life for the mother.

actually I've now actually read the article
she must serve at least 5 years but there she's got an indefinate sentance so she'll stay in until "deemed no longer to be a risk to the public and in particular to small children".

I heard that the Judge at the Old Bailey passed sentence whilst driving past in a Honda Accord.

No.
Not in her defence. She's a fucking idiot. After all the months of news and reporting on the death of that child, she didn't know if he'd actually died or not.

I'm sure there are news stories that you are ignorant of as well.

There might well be
but not one as highly publicised as this one. Cop on, Seb. Don't just argue for arguments sake.
