Is This Too Much Prison Time?
September 25th, 2008 by Leonard Birdsong
Birdsong’s first year criminal law class just finished studying about crime and punishment. Birdsong has now come upon a local crime story that begs the question: “Is this a case of too much punishment?”
The case was reported in the Orlando Sentinel and involves the sentencing,in Sanford, Florida, of 33 year old Kelly Lumadue. A Sanford jury had convicted her of having sex with a 5 year old boy. The judge in the case then sentenced her to life in prison without the possibility of parole!
