Woman faints after being sentenced for deadly beating of 3-year-old child

Email this page

August 30th, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com) The Criminal Court of Heredia sentenced a woman by the last name of Fuller and her partner, an informal taxi driver by the last name of Campos, to a total of 50 years in prison for the deadly beating of the woman’s child.

 

Judges Oscar Mario Vargas, Olman Ulate and Victor Cruz sentenced Campos to 30 years and sentenced Fuller to 20 years on charges of assault with a weapon and murder.

 

Upon the reading of her sentence, Fuller fainted, requiring court staff to call the Red Cross.

 

The brutal beatings of the child occurred over the course of several months, between December 2011 and June 2012, when the child was admitted to the hospital fighting for its life for several days before ultimately dying of respiratory failure.

    30 years and 20 years?!? Are there no life sentences for murderers? Even more reason, murder of a child. What a joke. Shame on you CR

      Costa Rica law does not provide for life sentences. Maximum sentence for any crime in CR, including murder, is *effectively* 30 years. From time to time you’ll see a sentence of say, ’60 years’ but it is symbolic only. For instance, in a double homicide, the defendant can be sentenced to 30 years for each murder for a total of 60 years, but the sentences will ultimately run concurrently, even though it is often reported that the person was “sentenced to a total of 60 years.”

    Brutal beatings of the child … She fainted I would have left her there and not called Red Cross. Maybe in prison some women will teach her meaning about brutality and how it feels.
