You know, there is a line of thought out there -- the current conservative consensus notwithstanding -- suggesting that children who have left the womb are in need of protection as well, being at least as valuable as their unborn brethren.  Sadly, too many leave their passionate advocacy for children in the Obstetrics Suite of their local hospitals -- and in doing so leave babies, toddlers, and elementary-aged children, as well as youths, completely vulnerable.  

This is a travesty.

I don’t understand . . . am I missing something? Is it truly possible that if one is “remorseful” enough, 3 years fixed/3 years indeterminate is a sufficient sentence for killing by shaking & then hitting a 6-month-old helpless infant in the head?!?! Not in any world where children are valued.
