it is funny that nobody finds this funny.
“I just want the court to know that I have made mistakes I am very sorry for that and I love my children and I have never, ever, done anything to my ... children to harm them intentionally,”
So what, you just accidentally locked them in a shed and forced them into slave labor? What the fuck is this apology.
I wonder if they have biological children and meant them.
Source: haven't read the article.
Edit: read the article. Still don't know.
I’m just surprised that the apology didn’t mention Jesus even once.
Brain farts and prayers
Even though by the time the hearing commences, the judge has already usually decided on the sentence, every competent criminal defence lawyer will advise their client to grovel and beg for mercy at the sentencing for two reasons:
- Acting recalcitrant could upset the judge and result in a heavier sentence than the judge originally planned because they feel a need to make an example of the defendant.
- Not being apologetic damages your future chances of parole when the parole board looks at the tape or record of the sentencing.

This is great news for all. The parents rot in a cell and hopefully get shoved by other black prisoners once they find out what they did.
I hope the government put services in place to help rehabilitate and provide those children with the mental heath and support they’ll need.

Why would it? Wait for them to turn criminal out of desperation and you've got a reason to ~~enslave them~~ throw them into prison where you can legally force them to work

Thoughts and prayers. Write a letter.
