CJI Forum You Be the Judge: Florida Child Strangled by Python
July 2nd, 2009
Police are expected to bring charges against the owner of a pet python that strangled a 2-year-old Florida girl in her crib, killing her.
According to police, the snake’s cage was not locked as mandated by Florida law, and the owner did not have a required permit to own the snake. You be the judge: Has this family been punished enough, or should criminal charges be filed? And if so, what sentence would you pass?
