When Dixon was wrapping up her closing arguments on Wednesday, she
placed a child's birthday cake in front of the jury. The cake had
eight candles. Dixon lit them. She sang Happy Birthday to Josef, who
was eight years old when he died. And while the jurors watched, the
Smiths looked away, clung to each other, and sobbed. Dixon said that
Josef's birthday cake would always be missing something -- the candle
for his ninth birthday.

An uncalled for theatrical stunt by the prosecutor.

Nonetheless tha parents got what they deserved.

Yup! The jury had spoken!


And how carefully you avoid the issue of The Question...where the line
is between discipline...which they claimed they were doing.. and that
they claimed that's all they were doing, and abuse which too often is
deadly.

The jury had spoken, STUPID. They had determined where the line is and
it has been crossed. Don't know how to read, STUPID "never-spanked" boy?
