Sooo...

I guess that means he gets 3 hots and a cot for 6 years, on the taxpayer's dime, and gets to skip on child support?

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Nope, he's dead. Life sentence is already served.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 7 points 4 weeks ago

He'll still owe the child support, but his ability to pay it will be greatly reduced.

[-] ericjmorey@discuss.online 1 points 4 weeks ago

How does that help the child that needs support?

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

It doesn't. Our criminal justice system is really just a punishment system. Whenever this guy gets out of prison, he'll have his wages garnished and the money that he owes will be paid back. It doesn't help the kid now.

Assuming he doesn't get sent back to prison.
