How much of the linked article did you read? |
I read the entire arcticle and never once was a trial mentioned.
'Care pleaded guilty to causing or procuring the children to be ill-treated in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury and was sentenced to 12 months for each child, to run concurrently and suspended for two years'.
Sounds like a plea. What were the original charges? Court documents are acceptable if you'd like to show that a plea bargain was not used.
