Couple sentenced to 12 years in prison in killer python case
Now, before everyone gets on the bandwagon to keep this couple out of jail, look at what happened.
The had a pet python, kept in an aquarium with a quilt for a top, who was by all accounts underfed and a child died. Not injured, not scared, but dead. Now some people will tell you this was simply a tragic accident. It was a tragic accident, but where was the responsibility accepted?
I believe this was gross neglect resulting in the death of a child. I think the judge and jury were lenient on this couple. I also believe the more stringent laws concerning exotic animals in Florida is one of the only worthwhile things our legislature has done in years. Check out the story here.
