Justice for All?

Interesting Indiana cases to compare.

A mom driving drunk has an accident that injures her child. A few quotes from the article. Mom sentenced for drunken crash that hurt daughter | jconline.com | Journal and Courier

Faye A. Grimes, 30, pleaded guilty in December in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 to neglect of a dependent, a Class C felony, in connection to a July 31 wreck on U.S. 52 near County Road 500 West in West Lafayette.

Grimes was sentenced Thursday to 56 days in prison.
But that was negated by a combined 56 days credit for time already served and for good behavior.
She was further ordered to spend two years and 309 days on probation.

Grimes' daughter suffered two black eyes and a bump on her forehead in the wreck

Tippecanoe County Deputy Prosecutor Elizabeth Goodrich said the girl was placed in foster care afterward and that she remained in foster case as of Thursday.
Under a plea agreement, Grimes is required to complete substance abuse and mental health treatment.

A cop leaves a loaded gun where his twin 4 year olds can get to it. One is killed.

Gun Discovery turns deadly

What do you think will happen to the cop, his kids and family? Will the kids be placed in foster care? will the cop be charged? will he have to attend gun safety classes?
