Warped is one way of saying that our judicial system sucks big time. We are still reeling here in Georgia from the news yesterday about a mother murdering her two children in a public toilet. We have people committing the most horrendous crimes and getting a slap on the wrist. Especially if you are a celebrity, OJ comes to mind or an illegal then you do not have to worry about anything you do not get deported just a free ride on the tax payer's dollar. Sorry for ranting but the whole government, regardless of what branch just pisses me off. Makes me sometimes wonder if vigilantes dont have the right idea.

Hey there Gamer, Before I provide my response, I would like to offer up that perhaps 'prison justice' will resolve this issue. Any parent who could kill their own flesh & blood can, in no way, be called a Human Being. Heck, most animals will not even kill their own. OK, now you're not going to like what I'm about to say. Yet, it needs to be said. So, here goes: A judge's role is not to create the law. It's to interpret and apply it. Now, from what I've read, the law is very clear in N.J. It may be woefully whacked, yet it is clear. Rather than continuing to fight this in the courts, the Father should be fighting it in the state legislature. Furthermore, it would seem a logical conclusion that the father now has custody of any other marital children? If so, then he should be fighting this on the grounds that there has been a change of circumstances, which would thereby nullify the alimony order. I'll also point out that the father had gotten into arrears (to the tune of 40k) by the time of the writing of the article. How much of that alimony was due before the crime was committed? As awful as this all is, it should not be used to excuse the father from his lawful responsibility, prior to the unthinkable act. If I were the father, I would sue the mother in civil court, for actual and implied damages resulting from the crime. I would construe a damages sought amount in excess of any alimony owed, for arrears, and future pain & suffering. He'll never see the money, but a win in the court will counter any monies owed to the mother. On a separate matter, I would concurrently file suit against the N.J. municipality responsible for any errors resulting in the charges being downgraded from Murder 1 to manslaughter. And, I would publicize the suit to the fullest extent possible. Send notice to all the 'talking heads'. The greater the media pressure on the NJ municipality, and state legislature to change the laws to reflect a forfeiture of any spousal support if the deliberate infliction of injury causes fatality. This is such a common sense issue, yet has probably escaped inclusion in the NJ Family Law codes, because of obscurity. How often do we hear about infanticide by either a mother or father? Not very often. Sadly, the commentary that says that the judiciary was correct to rule, and bump responsibility over to the legislature, is right. Judges cannot make the law. Only legislators can. To allow the judges in this case to write law creates that slippery slope of activist judges. Then where does it stop??????

Hello dear theprogramer. I am just wondering how come the sentence is so light on her side since she killed her own daughter for just three years jail and alimony. It is hard to believe that she should be given such a treatment. What is wrong with the justice? It is hard to understand though. Thanks for your discussion.

There you go. Who says life is ever fair?
