27-year-old Bridjid Tamihana sentenced to 9 years, 9 months for severe child abuse in New Zealand.
27-year-old Bridjid Tamihana was sentenced to 9 years, 9 months in prison for a horrific series of violent attacks on a 2-3 year old child in New Zealand, resulting in severe brain injuries, broken teeth, and spinal fractures. Tamihana pleaded guilty and accepted full responsibility. The Crown Solicitor described the abuse as "worse than some fatalities." Tamihana's lawyer argued for a reduced sentence, but the judge rejected further discounts for remorse or acknowledgment of the crimes.
