Chapter 18 - Lydia and Walter’s case
Their conduct was more serious.
Lydia pleaded guilty to:
Child endangerment.
Unlawful restraint.
Walter pleaded to:
Child endangerment.
Misdemeanor assault against me.
Sentences:
Lydia received several months in county custody, largely suspended, plus probation and mandatory counseling.
Walter received probation, community service, anger-management treatment, and no unsupervised contact with Louisa.
Neither went to state prison.
Some people thought that too lenient.
Others thought criminal charges excessive because:
