Mother kills two sons....and only gets six years....
Could you imagine if the father had killed the two sons???
The 27-year-old woman, who smothered her first son when she was a youth and cannot be named, will serve one year in jail after a Superior court judge credited her with serving five years in pretrial custody. She faced a maximum of seven years in custody.
The conviction marks the first time in Canadian history a woman has been convicted of killing more than one of her children at different times.
The woman has two remaining children and while in custody expressed the desire for more children.
Justice Cas Herold today said he found the woman's desire for more children astonishing and lamented that he could not prevent her from again becoming pregnant.
The deaths of the two babies -- one, in 1998, who was seven weeks old, the other, who was nine weeks old, four years later -- was attributed to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome until the woman confessed her crimes to police in early 2005.
