Woman convicted of murdering foster child
Woman convicted of murdering foster child
Posted by Susan L. Oppat | The Ann Arbor News January 28, 2008 17:53PM By SUSAN L. OPPAT The Ann Arbor News http://blog.mlive.com/annarbornews/2...rder_of_f.html A Canton Township mother was convicted Monday of second-degree murder, manslaughter and first-degree child abuse in the September 2006 death of her 2-year-old foster daughter. Carol Ann Poole, 41, faces up to life in prison on the murder conviction at her Feb. 25 sentencing in Wayne County Circuit Court. Jerry Dorsey IV, head of the child and family abuse section of the prosecutor's office, said he will waive sentencing on the conflicting manslaughter conviction. Dorsey said the child abuse conviction should also have resulted in a felony murder conviction because the death occurred during the commission of a felony. But he said the jury was apparently reluctant to send her to prison for life without parole, the mandatory sentence for that charge. He said jurors refused to talk to either prosecutors or defenders after the verdict. Dorsey said prosecutors only included the involuntary manslaughter charge as an alternative to complete acquittal. Since the manslaughter and murder charges conflict, he said, he must choose the charge on which he wants her sentenced - the second-degree murder. Poole changed her story to police several times after she called 911 in 2006, finally settling on telling them she was swinging the child up over her head and down between her legs, and Newman flew out of her hands and off a second-story balcony. She told police she waited about four hours before she called for help. By the time the toddler arrived at a hospital, according to testimony, she had virtually no brain activity, and her temperature had dropped significantly. Poole remains in the Wayne County Jail without bond. Susan Oppat can be reached at or at 734-482-1166. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
