Jury in Haleigh Poutre beating trial resumes deliberations

advertisement

Jason Strickland is charged with assault in the 2005 beating of Haleigh Poutre. Prosecutors say Strickland and his late wife, Holli, participated in abuse that culminated in a beating that left the 11-year-old girl with a severe brain injury.

The case has sparked a right-to-die debate in Massachusetts when child welfare officials received court permission to remove her feeding tube. Haleigh, now 14, survived.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

As usual, too little too late from yet another state child welfare agency.  Now their remedy is to "pull the plug" on an unnecessarily damaged child.  When is the state going to get it right?
