Level 3 · 1 day agothe 'forgetting' defense makes sense scientifically but this wasn't a first time mistake, it was the SECOND child who died in her care. the brain science argument falls apart real quick when you consider that context

Level 5 · 1 day agoTwo dead grandkids, one grandma, zero apologies. The judge did the math even if the jury couldn't figure out the equation.
