If you know you’re not going be successful in your case, but still want to make an example out of someone that would be the way… Almost two years in jail so far.
If you read more, you really start to see how messed up it is. They’re all at the same jail but have what sounds like no contact with each other kept in isolation.
If you know anything about isolation in prison it’s pretty much a new form of torture that is somehow legal. Worse, when the kid was arraigned his parents weren’t even allowed to be there. The whole thing is really fucked, but shows how mess up the government is with this sort of thing.
The prosecution has done a great job of poisoning the pool and putting out as much as they can how bad they are as parents, but this all just feels wrong at a fundamental thing. Especially because these two are never going to have a normal life after this.
