Are they probably two of the dumbest people on the planet? Absolutely.

Did they maliciously withhold food from their kid? I don't think so.

I don't know, maybe it's just me but I don't think anyone should get life in prison for being stupid. They should get jail time, absolutely, but somehow I think the knowledge that your stupidity was directly responsible for your child's death seems like it's almost punishment enough.

Can you imagine the headaches if not only did prosecutors have to handle "Innocent until proven guilty," but also "Ignorant until proven smart?" One could even argue that anyone committing any crime is stupid.

Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?

I never said that it should be incorporated into the justice system, I was just saying I didn't think they deserved life in prison for it. Though, it seems like their life sentences were automatic, so it couldn't have been helped.
