This part particularly pissed me off...
Quote:In mitigation, Stephen Linehan QC, for Luczak, had asked the judge not to "snuff out" hope for her. "This young woman came to this country hoping for a better life and now she is facing a life in prison. She has lost everything. Her situation is truly desperate."
Maybe she should have thought about that before she was torturing her own son.
Yeah. If that is really the best the defence can come up with you know there is something seriously wrong.

I'm sure there will be loads of people willing to adopt him who will give him a better chance at life. Fucked up way to start life though - I hope he turns out ok.

Therein lies its appeal to alot of the religious, the idea that those that wronged you or did heinous things will get punishment for it. It makes people anxious to know that there are people that do harm and may get away with it, but the hard reality is that there are people that die of old age, even after doing real bad things. So appealing is the conforting lie.
One of the issues of Christianity is that these two can still be saved while I'll be tortured for all eternity for saying "for god's sake" from time to time, coveting my boyfriends new 27 inch computer screen and that lie I told when I was 12...
Edit: some spelling. Stupid fat fingers. I should just set that up as my signature.
