I don’t understand why, in cases like there where there is no question as to what happened, a trial cannot be conducted within a week, immediately followed by the parents being hanged for their crimes. Why entertain appeals? A child was murdered, the parents did it. Conduct a thorough but speedy trial and be done with it.
*Correction: Appears the birth father wasn’t around, so it was the child’s mother (!) and her boyfriend. Execute them both.
