He'll only get 2 to 10 years??? What???

Also, does anyone know what's happened to the child?

and it will take way longer than that for her to recover, if she ever does at all

[zemi_chan]

Exactly!

Idiot. You're the one with the feeble mind! She's the one with the evidence, all over her body, plus that dead baby she buried on their farm.

Two to ten years is a joke, but hopefully, with the additional evidence of the dead baby, he'll get life.

The woman also alleged that Stephanie said her husband caused her to have a miscarriage after her husband hit her in the stomach. She said she buried the corpse of a fully developed infant on their farm.

Abusive monster.

Unfortunately, the corpse of the infant doesn't prove he caused it. The Defense could easily argue that she forced herself to miscarry, and buried the baby without the man's knowledge.

It says that he accused the woman who reported it to the police of being "feeble minded" and according to the article the allegations where made by another woman, not the alleged victim. (Which I'm finding a bit odd- they took pictures of the woman who he is said to have chained up, surely they also talked to her during that time? Yet there is no mention of her confirming or denying the allegations brought to the police's attention by the other woman. Seems odd information to leave out.)

Not that it makes the "feeble minded" allegations any less f-ed up, just directed at a different woman.

Chief Boggs told msnbc.com malicious wounding is likely to net Lizon between two to 10 years in prison.

Are you fucking KIDDING me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

Especially fucking mind boggling when you remember that an abused woman who shot a gun into the wall, not injuring anyone, got 20 years in prison for that. What the fuck is going on in this country.

The usual - women must be controlled, men don't have to control themselves.
