Baby Briana...My Angel

Baby Briana is my Angel...she changed my life. I cannot think of her without a large painful lump forming in my throat and tears welling in my eyes.

I first heard of Baby Briana a year ago and am changed inside because of her suffering

Around the same time I heard of Briana, in cairns where I live a baby girl was raped by her teenage mother’s 18yr old boyfriend who was left minding the baby while the mother went to visit a relative. The baby died from her horrific injuries a few hours after the abuse.

These crimes must be prevented. Perpetrators must face Mandatory LIFE SENTENCES without chance of Parole for child abuse and neglect leading to Child Death, for Rape of a Child and for Sex Abuse of Children

The Criminal Justice System everywhere needs to be completely overhauled. I do not believe that homicide and child abuse cases should be heard and decided upon by a jury

I cannot see that Prosecutors and Defenders and Juries are the fairest and most appropriate way to deal with these crimes.

Regarding legal representatives, it far too often comes down to who has money and nouse to hire a ‘talented’ lawyer who can use their talents to win the jury over and gain a reduced sentence

I do not believe that plea bargaining should result in decreased sentence time, but some other freedoms could be traded for accused cooperation, such as visitation accesses in prison

I do not believe that juries are appropriate for hearing homicide cases…it is well known that people will buy anything if it is sold to them well enough…lawyers are really advertisers selling a product, innocence or guilt and how well they sell their product to a gullible jury determines to a large degree whether or not Justice will prevail

we must stamp out the current justice system…it does not work. There should not be criminal lawyers on homicide cases. The case should be examined by a fully trained panel of experts who have access to ALL information including past history of the accused

Further, there MUST be Mandatory LIFE SENTENCE without Chance for Parole for any Child Abuse and Neglect leading to Child Death and for Rape of a Child and for Sex Abuse of Children.

Child Abusers Identities Must be Made PUBLIC…why are they being protected??? They need to be known so that other children can be made safe from them

Failure to Notify Abuse Must carry a Deterrent Prison Sentence of at least 5-10yrs at least enough to make people take action

Further, if we do not hand out the death penalty, which I believe is an appropriate sentence for Brutal Homicide when there IS NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER of GUILT, which is difficult to be sure of always under the current system, then we must not make life in prison too comfortable for killers, but they should only be provided with the absolute basics for survival and should, like everyone else in society, work to earn any extras. Taxpayers should not pay for any additional comfort items for killers.

IF we were to do these things…in this way we might begin to see real justice happen

at least that is what I am inclined to believe
