Who was speaking for Aliza
I think its pretty bad that a mother can knowingly put her child in danger over and over again. Watch her suffer and die and protect her killer and be out of jail in less than a year. Trust me if my daughter had 2 broken ribs I would know it!!!! He shot her and she still moved back in with him!!!! I feel that there was no justice for the little angel that suffered so much and knowing that her mom didnt do anything to save her. I know she did more by the smirk on her face when she was wheeled out of the court room. How can you smile when your child is dead!!! Good job jury, hope I get a jury like you if I ever need one. Wish the jurors who knew she was guilty would have held out.
Ironically, the jurors, who admonished everyone else for, 'failing Aliza', the police, social serv., etc.., did EXACTLY the same thing when it came to JUSTICE for Aliza! They saw the autopsy photos, which I hope haunts the nightmares of EVERYONE who failed that litttle girl, and yet still tried to give the 'mother' a 'fair trial'?! As a child abuse victim myself, how dare they take into account HER abuse?! The victim was not Laura, it was her baby, and, she died. As a victim- yes-you most certainly KNOW WHAT CHILD ABUSE IS!!! And you should know better than anyone to stop it! She was not responsible because she 'wouldn't have known he was going to kill her?!' Excuse me, I beg to differ-when you see your boyfriend beat your child to the point of broken bones and bleeding and you are a mere 2yrs. old-oh yes, I think you most certainly are aware your baby is IN DANGER! Those photos of her 'boyfriend' pushing Aliza's head in her birthday cake were not only sickening, but insidious insight into a sick character. She knew FULLY what danger that little child was in, and she is fully culpable. Sorry sweetheart, but not only would some of us have thrown you in the slammer, but would have recommended a tubal as a parting gift. My heart absolutely aches to see (and remember) the sadness in the battered faces of little people who DID NOTHING! Looking into the eyes of souls who have been here so briefly w/lives filled w/pain and sorrow. Instead, ('ms. -I'll cop her attitude back if she cops it w/me' -trujillo) may your nights be a reminder of a little person who had the potential of being anything she could have been with just one simple thing: love. Motherhood is a gift from God, and this is how he is thanked?! May your creator have mercy on you.
