What is wrong with you people! Have you ears that do not hear and eyes that do not see? You are so judgmental that you fail to realize that an ALFORD plea is NOT an admission of guilt. God forbid "As I see it" or "Anonymous" should ever find themselves in a similar situation. Why would you even speak to anything you know nothing about? All you do is spread your petty prejudice remarks with no inkling of the truth. You were not in the courtroom that day to hear what the commonwealth said...I was. If you want to know more about this situation go to nvdaily.com. It is a fairly accurate depiction of what transpired the last day of court. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHO THROW STONES AT INNOCENT PEOPLE. It is people like you who sent Jesus to the cross!
She took the plea agreement becaused she knew she did it. If someone had accused me of drowing my son, which I would never ever do, I'd fight like hell. I doubt the little boy lied about this. and I agree, she prob though he was dead and thought she might be able to get away with it, so she prob freaked and called 911 and said he wasn't breathing.
Innocent people do get caught up in the legal system, but forensics never lie! "IF", Sammantha is innocent it will come out, but an innocent person would not plead guilty! Perhaps if more people had the Lord, things like crimes against children would not happen!!! I'm NOT speaking in hate! I am glad that the legal system is sticking up for the innocent child, all too often these things slip threw the cracks. I do pray that Justice will Prevail. Besides NO ONE knows exactly what happened, except the mother, and child, unless you are either, you are also in the dark! I pray for the boy that this trajety, does not scar him for life. Only calling it as I see it! Also throwing the Lord's name around as you do, is not helpful, you know not what is in anyones heart,except your own, so maybe watch what you say! I'll be haunted by nothing!
May God forgive people who speak out in hate without knowing the facts of this case. Innocent people get caught up in our legal system all too often due to circumstantial evidence. God knows the truth! God help anyone if they should ever be in this kind of situation. Be careful what you said for your words may someday come back to haunt you!
Yep she took the plea agreement, GUILTY, GUILTY!! The Guilty always, will always take the plea, cause they know if they don't they will go away for much longer!! Sweet deal for almost murdering your son. Right! The lil boy told the truth. I believe that Sammantha called 911, cause she thought that he was already dead! She could then say that she found him like that. The worst thing you can ever do in this world is to harm a child!
Ruth...count your blessings! There but for the Grace of God go any of us. She took the plea so the child would not have to endure further pain & suffering. Could you do the same?
I hope that time will heal this family , and I hope she will have a relationship with son . you had to be in the court room to hear the real case .may God Bless This Family
I hope she is never allowed to be around her son or any children for the rest of her life. Her son will always remember that his mom tried to drown him.
