Mom gets 99 years in prison for gluing tot's hands

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas woman who beat her 2-year-old daughter and glued the toddler's hands to a wall was sentenced Friday to 99 years in prison by a judge who described his decision as a necessary punishment for a brutal, shocking attack.

Elizabeth Escalona did not immediately react as State District Judge Larry Mitchell pronounced the sentence at the end of a five-day hearing. Prosecutor Eren Price, who originally offered Escalona a plea deal for 45 years, had argued that she now thought the 23-year-old mother deserved life.

Mitchell said his decision came down to one thing.

"On Sept. 7, 2011, you savagely beat your child to the edge of death," Mitchell said. "For this you must be punished."

The beating left Jocelyn Cedillo in a coma for a couple of days.

Escalona's other children told authorities their mother attacked Jocelyn due to potty training problems. Police say she kicked her daughter in the stomach, beat her with a milk jug, then stuck her hands to an apartment wall with an adhesive commonly known as Super Glue.

Jocelyn suffered bleeding in her brain, a fractured rib, multiple bruises and bite marks, a doctor testified. Some skin had been torn off her hands, where doctors also found glue residue and white paint chips from the apartment wall.

This is about the most fucked up thing I've read about all year. And then, to top it off, the court gives custody of the kids to the grandmother, who helped create their psycho of a mother. Way to go, judge.

Why don't they just dish out these sorts of sentences for all criminals that do such things. I've seen cases where they don't even get half this time (or any time at all). Like one time this cunt had three or four kids. One was adopted I think. The adopted one was constantly bullied by the others (like for example using the wee man's stomach as a trampoline and they would hit him and nothing was done about it as the mother found it amusing) and the mother used to make the wee man eat sandwiches made up of pepper (and nothing else). There was more to it than that but this is all I can remember. The wee man (the boy) he was only about 3 or something. He ended up dying through the abuse. And yet the so-called social services claimed they never saw the tell tale signs. Yet how come they hound those who shouldn't be hounded through inaccurate claims against some folks. They are treated like abusers yet the real abusers go by unnoticed. And the boy in this case lost his life, a life that, if you ask me, had not even begin since he was only three. He never got the chance to live. Yet that cunt of a mother did. She is probably still living with her kids and everything. Nothing more was heard about the case after the initial article in the paper. I'd have liked to have found out if the hooer got what was coming to her. This particular case gets me angry so it does.

Sad part is the cunt will be out in half that - just shoot the bitch and get it over with.

99 years...... Not harsh enough for harming a innocent child over going to the bathroom.

Most murderers and rapist do not get this type of sentence.

All murderers and rapists should be sentenced to death.

i agree with executing rapists if there is an irrefutable conviction. otherwise there would be too many people wrongfully put to death because of it.

Ding-Ding-Ding!!!

Too bad California has a proposition on the ballet this year for repeal the death sentence. Once again no punishment for the truly guilty in this state.

I read about this earlier today. It's very disturbing but at the same time, not surprising. There are a lot of fucked up people in this world.

There will be proof. Then a lot more room in prisons.

California needs a new people in office.

People from Texas.


Death Penalty – The Overview Link





The biggest difference between California and Texas is we have the death penalty and we use it! That's right. You kill somebody in Texas, we will kill you right back! That's our policy!

We are trying to send a message to the rest of America, and the message is, go some where else and kill people.
Go to California and kill people they don't give a sh!t.

Texas is actually trying to pass a bill through the state senate that will speed up the execution process in murder cases which have three or more credible eye witnesses. Some states are trying to abolish the death penalty…my state’s puttin’ in an express lane.”
