(Ebensburg, Pennsylvania) This case makes me sick. Amy Livingston, 28, effectively kills her 15-month-old baby through neglect, almost kills her 4-year-old son the same way, pleads guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy and, with credit for time served, she'll probably walk out of jail in a year.
Amy Livingston
Convicted of manslaughter, child sexual assault
Livingston boo-hooed her way through yesterday's sentencing after pleading guilty to manslaughter and statutory sexual assault as part of the lamest plea agreement ever negotiated. The result, 19 to 59 months (wink-wink) for manslaughter of her baby and six to 24 months (wink-wink) for sexual assault of the neighborhood boy.
All time is to be served concurrently (boo-hoo, boo-hoo) and, at the defendant's request (sniff-sniff), it won't be in state prison. She'll do her time in the county jail. By the way, when Amy, the dangerous moron, addressed the court, she expressed no contrition. She cried, but only because she sees herself as the victim.
And, there's more idiocy. Livingston's (lawyer, family, et al.) entire argument for a lenient sentence was that she was exasperated (boo-hoo), that she's immature (sniff-sniff), and that her husband left her to be deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Army. Hell, I would have left without being in the service.
In case you're wondering who choreographed this comedy, it was Cambria County Judge F. Joseph Leahey and whoever was prosecuting the case. The best that I can tell is that the judge had to get back to watching his Ironside videos and the entire staff in the district attorney's office was on vacation. I guess we should be thankful that she didn't get just community service.
