WTF?
Prosecutors presented a strong circumstantial case built on drug-tainted dirty diapers and bulk purchases of allergy medicine, all of which implicated Bieber's guilt.
Forensic investigators found traces of antihistamines in the urine and diapers of three other Tiny Tots children, whose parents claimed they were not the source.
Also in evidence were Bieber's Costco purchasing receipts, showing she bought more than 63 bottles of Diphedryl  a generic form of Benadryl  in the 23 months leading up to Dane's death.
Bieber and her husband testified that their family drank copious amounts of the allergy medicine at home, drinking it straight from the bottle on a daily basis.
Day Care negligent homicide
BILLINGS, Mont.  A former day-care owner was found guilty Tuesday of causing the death of a 1-year-old boy by giving him a fatal dose of allergy medication. Shaking and silently weeping as the verdict was read, Sabine Bieber was convicted of negligent homicide in the death of Dane Heggem, who died while asleep in a crib at a Tiny Tots day care in Laurel on Jan. 31, 2003.
The seven-man, five-woman jury panel deliberated nearly 19 hours over two days, ultimately siding with prosecutors' theory that Bieber was secretly feeding Dane and other children in her care liquid diphenhydramine, an antihistamine found in Benadryl.
By mid-day, jurors announced that they were deadlocked on two counts, including the homicide charge, but continued to work into the night, finally reaching a decision at 8:15 p.m. after what the foreman characterized as "extremely tense" deliberations.

=x Sorry, but we used a home daycare girl on base in washington and catherine lost 2 fingernails in 2 weeks there. Never again, at least not with something as young as this girl. I used one woman here on base, but my neighbor uses her and loves her - i met her a couple times too. Otherwise Catherine goes to the child development center here on base. Just, really check out the people at these daycares. Sometimes they're great, but in the one case we had in washington, chick was doing her internet homework during the day, I think. =/ We kick ourselves whenever we think about it =/

That's horrible. It makes me ill to think about things like this happening.
What makes me even more ill is how slow our justice system works sometimes. It's been 2 years and 8 months since that child died, yet the conviction is only coming now.
