Life. No parole.

This morning, the daycare provider's attorney offered comments on her behalf and then requested that the judge consider probation for her. Then the judge heard my comments and those of the deputy county attorney. He completed the proceeding with comments of his own and then issued the daycare provider a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The defense attorney has made it clear that he intends to file an appeal.

Date change

I have been advised that the date for the sentencing hearing has been changed to December 22 at 9:30am.

One year

One year ago today, we found ourselves in the hospital, our baby boy fighting for his life. It does not seem right to let this day pass without a Thank You to everyone of our family and our friends who have been so supportive this year. Nothing we could ever say could repay some of the kindnesses we have been shown this year. Thank you.

Two months ago today, the daycare provider was found guilty by the judge in a bench trial. The sentencing is scheduled for Friday, December 15.
