[Vision2020] CORRECTION: RE: FW: Breaking news from DNews.com

[Saundra Lund]

My sincere gratitude to a private email for pointing out an error in my initial post.  The corrected sentence is:

 

“Perhaps had they not coddled their spectacularly underachieving, unmotivated son, Silas Parks would have figured out long ago that he wasn’t the center of the universe and that squeezing the life out of his wife and unborn child, and then torching the bed he put them on, wasn’t acceptable.”

Not quite the way I’d describe the sentence.  As per the plea agreement, Parks got 15 years for the “involuntary manslaughter” of his wife & unborn child, and the sentence for the arson was not less than five years nor more than 25 years, with that to run consecutive to the involuntary manslaughter time.

 

And that, folks, is what passes for justice in Latah County for the “involuntary manslaughter” of a woman and her unborn daughter by a spoiled, petulant brat of a man-child who still hasn’t been knocked down to size by his own family or by the justice system.  While I generally have great sympathy for the parents of criminals, I certainly don’t in this instance.  It was all I could do to keep from vomiting listening to Parks’ parents – it was, perhaps, the most shameful display I’ve ever seen.  Perhaps had they not coddled their spectacularly underachieving, unmotivated first son, he would have figured out long ago that Silas Parks wasn’t the center of the universe and that squeezing the life out of his wife and unborn child, and then torching the bed he put them on wasn’t acceptable.
