That chick who shot her preacher husband dead with a shotgun and took off with the kids might get time served. That's all I'm saying.
She was negligent, but kids die from falling in the pool, getting burned, poisoned, etc. when their parents aren't paying attention all the time. Granted this woman actually did something to kill her kid, but is she more dangerous to society than someone who comitted a violent crime? There are a fixed number of cells - one in equals one out.
If a father shot his son hunting, would you give him 8 years or call it an accident and let the death be the punishment?
