Why Is the L.A. Times Burying the Obama/Khalidi Tape?

"Assistant State’s Attorney Julie Drake said the sentence was compassionate but fair."
blockquotea href=”http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-national/20100421/US.Child.Slain.Cult/”A woman who starved her 1-year-old son to death/a at the behest of a religious cult leader was given a sentence Wednesday that won’t require her to serve any more jail time.br /br /Ria Ramkissoon, 23, pleaded guilty last year to child abuse resulting in the death of Javon Thompson.

Doory suspended the balance of Ramkissoon’s 20-year sentence and ordered her to report to a residential treatment facility for young women.

Sorry, but having to “live with knowing she was partly responsible” for this boy’s death is not the same as paying for it. A residential program for something this cruel? In terms of justice for this boy, it seems a bit cruel itself. (Thanks to Trey for emailing this story.)
