Minnesota: woman who hanged a toddler at her daycare gets probation
Minnesota woman a) tries to kill toddler by hanging him; b) hits a bicyclist with her car as she flees; c) hits a second car; d) and uses her car to push another car and driver 10 blocks. Judge sentences her to probation, no prison.
Minnesota is notoriously liberal. As in, insanely so. These are the folks who routinely allowed natives of Somalia to board flights headed overseas carrying a million cash in suitcases--several times a month. Never got curious. Really strangely, crazy liberal.
Nataliia Karia ran a daycare out of her home. A father who was dropping off his son at Karia’s home found a toddler hanging from a noose in the basement. He released the child (who survived) and started raising hell with Karia, who jumped in her car and fled.
She struck a bicyclist and two cars, pushing one ten blocks. She pleaded guilty to attempted murder, third-degree assault and criminal vehicular operation.
On Monday Hennepin County District Judge Jay Quam sentenced her to...probation, no jail.
His reasoning is...goofy at best: He said he agreed that she was a “low risk” to commit more crimes.
He said her actions were “the perfect storm of factors unlikely to ever be repeated.”
Excuse me? If a guy fatally shot someone, but the circumstances were highly unusual, such that they weren't likely to occur again, the same argument would hold. But have you ever heard of someone getting off completely (probation is NOT a deterrent) for such a thing? No.
The wreckless driving that almost cost a bicyclist his leg should have landed her in jail for at least six months. But no, nothing.
On the other hand, I guess it's no worse than California juries letting a 7-times-deported illegal who fatally shot a tourist on a pier in San Francisco--admittedly carelessly, not intentionally--off with a slap on the wrist.
