Doughnuts kill little girls


So many questions come to mind when I think of Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby, an assistant pricipal in Ohio who left her two year old daughter cook to death in her suv in the school parking lot, like: Why doesn't Brenda sue the doughnut company for selling her a product that caused her to forget she had her daughter in the car and left the car in the sun which then cooked the child to death?

But it wasn't just the doughnuts to blame. The manufacture of the car did not allow Brenda to see the child, in the car seat, while removing cargo from the rear. Why doesn't Brenda sue Mercedes?

Prosecuters in Ohio thought it best not to prosecute Brenda, for this was just a tragic accident. Well, in all fairness, Brenda is a busy woman. And she is well educated so she shouldn't be held accountable for the minor mistake of baking her child to death on school grounds.

No, this woman should not be given a needle for her crime, but a crime was committed, and she should be fairly punished. This is a very dangerous slippery slope. If "Hey, it was an accident", can get you off free and clear, then why bother having a judicial system? It makes sense though...If you have a lot of money or say it was an accident you're free.

Did you mean to kill?
No, it was an accident.
Oh, ok then. You're free to go OJ.
