The Brenda Slaby Syndrome has struck again. This time, in Phoenix, Arizona. However, this time, authorities are prescribing the right medicine, an arrest for homicide. From Fox News:A woman who found her 17-month-old son dead in her hot, stuffy car after she worked her seven-hour shift as a Hooters waitress has been arrested, police said Wednesday.
Ashly Duchene, 22, was booked into Maricopa County jail on a felony count of negligent homicide, police said.
Duchene usually dropped the boy off at a day-care center on her way to work, but for unknown reasons failed to do so Tuesday, police Sgt. Joel Tranter.
Instead, she left her son, Ryan Gallagher, in the car when she arrived at the north Phoenix restaurant at about 10 a.m., police said. When she returned after her shift at nearly 5 p.m., he was dead.
If only Ashly Duchene lived in Clermont County, she could have hired a Clermont County Commissioner (Scott Croswell)who oversees the County Prosecutor's office budget and is married to a member of the prosecutor's (Don White) biggest private practice client (The Jeff Weyler family, an automotive dealer in Ohio). Of course, it would have helped if Ashly were from Symmes Township and drove a Mercedes SUV and had a good cry over the whole thing. Then she could have gotten awa scott free and gone back to work at Hooters as if nothing happened, or even better, get paid for doing nothing on "indefinite leave."
There is no justice for Cecilia Slaby, Brenda's daughter who baked in the car, but it seems there is justice everywhere else.
