Reuters) - A Kansas man was sentenced to nearly three years in prison on Friday for letting his 10- month-old foster daughter die in a hot car while he smoked marijuana and watched television. Seth Jackson, 29, who pled guilty in November to one count of involuntary manslaughter, was sentenced to 32 months in prison, a Sedgwick County District Court official said. He had originally been charged with murder. Police said he left the baby in a vehicle in Wichita, Kansas, for several hours on July 24 as temperatures in the city hovered around 90 degrees. Jackson had picked up marijuana from a dealer and then returned home. He started using the drug without taking the girl out of the car, prosecutors said. Jackson told police he forgot the girl was in the car until he saw something on TV that reminded him of her. He rushed to the car, but she was dead, police said.

Jackson told police he forgot the girl was in the car until he saw something on TV that reminded him of her. He rushed to the car, but she was dead, police said. Marijuana is harmless. /S This guy was a foster parent!
Reminds me of a case I worked on. This low life welfare P. O. S. had a blast getting drunk and high at the neighbors trailer one evening while his two year old slept into the late hours. When he decided to collect his daughter and walk home at 0300 hrs... he dropped his sleeping daughter on her head while carrying her drunk and high. Then put her to bed with a head injury that would kill her by morning. I put the scumbag away for 4 years. A year longer than this. Both sentences are garbage.

Even if you were the detective in charge on the case, wouldn't it be a little more accurate, and less self aggrandizing, to credit the prosecution a bit?
They did prosecute the case, obviously. I had to supply all the facts, put it all together and sit through an autopsy of that beautiful little innocent girl.... I'd have traded jobs with thevDA in a heartbeat.

Based on the facts as stated, I agree completely! Someone placed very low value on innocent children! It is not helpful now, but come Judgement Day, God will administer proper justice on these two Aholes!

Marijuana didn't leave the girl in the car.

Jackson told police he forgot the girl was in the car Using that stuff causes the awareness and heirarchy of relative importance of other things and responsibilities to be dissociated. That's why people use it. It's "Hey man, what's happening?" Then it's "Oh Shit! That's what's happening." "Hey man, what's happening?" and "Oh Shit! That's what's happened." become a habitual way of life.
Why weren't both of the pothead pervs sent to prison? "The biggest mistake that libertarians make is the way they view government and private sectors.

It didn't help him remember she was BBQ'ing in the care either, Peter.

Marijuana was clearly in command of what few brains he had left and was doing all the thinking for everybody.
32 months for killing a baby. This is what has become of our throw away society. Where's Holder and the DoJ with charges the baby's civil rights were violated?
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools " (Romans 1:21-22)
The baby has the best Father now. Heartbreaking people love their drugs more than their kids.
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools " (Romans 1:21-22)
Pete the dirt bag took a baby to score dope and rolled his doobie while she fried in a car. So yes the pot was front and center.

Was this a gay couple?

I agree. It's the part of the criminal justice system that isn't working... the punishment phase. There is no ramifications or reasons not to break the law.

Yes indeed a gay couple.

Yep.

It didn't help him remember she was BBQ'ing in the care either, Peter. Maybe he should have had a couple of beers to help remind him? The FACTS are that this idiot is responsible for that little girl dying,and no one else. Certainly not any drug he used,be it alcohol or pot. Inanimate objects don't make decisions.

Sure it was. Why,he's not guilty at all! I say we not only let him go,but give him a disability pension for the harm we as a Republic have caused to come his way by not making all his decisions for him. If we had,this would have never happened,right?

It was a white baby,so they don't give a damn.

That is the equivalent of saying it wasn't his fault. Are you drinking the Christian Kook-Ade to the point now where people aren't responsible for the bad decisions they make? Hey! Maybe de debbil made him do it?

They do when you bring them into your body and let them control your mind.
Yep. "Forgetful: Police say Seth Michael Jackson (right) and Payton Schroeder (left) only remembered the little girl was still outside because of something they saw on television." - Tell me,would be baby be less dead if it had been a heterosexual couple and they had been drinking wine at a dinner party? Would it somehow be LESS of a tragedy?

Uh,huh. Maybe you had better take your mind in for a checkup,because MY mind controls what I do and when I do it.

Probably. Especially if they weren't dopeheads. "The biggest mistake that libertarians make is the way they view government and private sectors.

Hey, don't blame wine. It's just an inanimate object! Again!

No you misunderstood me. The bad choices of the foster father, doing drugs, are front and center.

Who claimed it did?
The scary part is I really do think you are so mentally defective you believe you are making rational points.

Don't blame marijuana. Blame wine. Doublethink. "The biggest mistake that libertarians make is the way they view government and private sectors.

Not necessary. If impairment wasn't partially responsible, then he must have intentionally murdered the child. Either way, he is scum.
It's not. Impairment didn't track him down and force him to get high. That was HIS choice. then he must have intentionally murdered the child. Either way, he is scum. On that we agree. IMHO,32 years in prison would be more appropriate than 32 months.

Sure it was. Why,he's not guilty at all! He's quilty of assumption of risk for using it when he had other serious responsibilities. But his mind was too far gone from previous use to consider it. It's a multi-step process. Once they start using that stuff, it obtains an importance in their lives that displaces importance of other elements of life which should be important.
You not only drank the Kool-Ade,you became addicted to it. It just ain't true.
