24 year old Nigerian/American woman, Jessica Tata, was
sentenced to 80 years in prison on Monday November 20th after being found
guilty of the death of one of four children killed in a fire at her home day
care in Houston.
16-month-old Elias Castillo and three other toddlers died
after Tata left them unsupervised at her home while she went to a nearby store.
Prosecutors say she left a pan of oil cooking atop a stovetop burner and that
this ignited the February 2011 blaze. There were 7 children when the fire
started, four died, three survived.
Tata still faces three more counts of felony murder in
relation to the other children who died, and three counts of abandoning a child
and two counts of reckless injury to a child in relation to three who were
hurt. So she will be getting more years added to the 80 as other cases come up.
I'm sorry to say this, but I think she deserves the
sentence! How the heck are you going to leave 1year olds unsupervised?
80 years in prison, God have mercy!
