[quote]A woman who tortured and killed two of her adopted daughters and stored their bodies in the family freezer has been jailed for life by a judge in the United States.
Renee Bowman told the court in Maryland: "I am very sorry for the abuse of those girls. It haunts me. It haunts me every day."
Handing her the maximum punishment possible, judge Michael Algeo said: "You sentenced these two young innocent children in the dawn of their lives to a death chamber, and for you that option is not available."
The bodies of Minnet, who would now be 12, and Jasmine, who would now be 11, were discovered in a locked freezer in the family's home in Maryland in September 2008.
Authorities searched the house after a third sister escaped and was found wandering the neighbourhood.
Prosecutors said Bowman was a sadist who derived pleasure from her children's misery as she kept them in a locked room with a bucket for a toilet.
All three girls had suffered severe injuries from repeated beatings and none ever went to school.
The surviving girl, now aged nine, dazzled court as she testified with a teddy bear in her arms.
She said Bowman beat them with a shoe and a baseball bat and repeatedly choked them until they lost consciousness.
The court was read an email Bowman sent to a friend in which she gleefully compared herself to the death row warden in the movie The Green Mile.
She said she shouted "Dead man walking," when any of the girls was about to be punished. "They hate it. Hahaha," Bowman wrote.
Investigators believe Bowman killed the girls months before they were found, while the family was living 60 miles away, and took the freezer with her when she moved home.
Bowman's lawyers say she suffered a difficult childhood, having been given up by her schizophrenic mother.
She was sentenced to the maximum penalty under Maryland law - two consecutive life sentences for the killings plus 75 years in prison for three counts of first-degree child abuse.
The judge told her: "You come across as such a nice, soft-spoken person. I can only conclude that the Renee Bowman I see before me is a different Renee Bowman from the one who lived in that house."
State attorney John McCarthy said the surviving daughter faces an uncertain future at the centre of a complex adoption case.
"God knows she's going to have lifelong difficulties dealing with the emotional, as well as the physical, scars from these crimes."[/quote]

wow, What the fucking hell, How can some people do these things, specifically to their own daughters
Wow living with her must be [I]torture[/I]
She looks like some future drug victim.
She'll be beaten senseless by her inmates, you can count on that.
Knowing how people who beat children are treated by other inmates in jail I'm betting that she won't survive for long.

Nope, murderers and rapists are in a different cell block to prevent lynching.

They were adopted.. which makes it even worse - they could have been adopted by a nicer family and lived a happy life, but they ended up stuffed in a freezer for a month without anyone knowing.
That article gave me chills.
Looks like she lit her hair on fire and put it in a blender.

I mean that in a totally non racist way.
Shit, I feel sorry for the third child.
wtf
[QUOTE=mercurius;20933688]Nope, murderers and rapists are in a different cell block to prevent lynching.[/QUOTE]
Well, they got plenty of time to figure out how to fuck her up.
Pedophiles and child abusers are the bottom of the totem pole in prisons, there looked down by everyone in there
What a cold blooded murder.
Yeah this is fucked, the third child is probably going to be in therapy for years.
Not to sound racist, but I figured she was black even before I saw the picture. But yeah, I feel sorry for the third child and her sisters. It's amazing what kind of people are in the world.

Agreed.
She should be sentenced to death by fork.

If you have to say "Not to sound racist" before a sentence, you're probably being racist.
what the fuck

It seems that all the black-hearted killers were born with schizophrenic parents.
Looks like she tortured and killed two of her adopted daughters and stored their bodies in the family freezer.

Why do people always try to blame their problems on their childhood?
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;20936058]Why do people always try to blame their problems on their childhood?[/QUOTE]
Because childhood can have a lifelong traumatic effect on someone. It's no excuse for doing stuff like this though.
