Cherie Walker will spend the rest of her life behind bars for letting her husband impregnate her 11-year-old daughter, whom they forced to give birth without medical care.
That’s not even the worst thing said in that article:
“This child is traumatized. She’s been through a horrific ordeal,” [Assistant District Attorney Janet] Hutson previously said in an interview with Tulsa CBS affiliate KOTV. “Not only has somebody gotten her pregnant, but she gave birth at home without medical assistance, and this will be her life for the rest of her life.”
“This will be her life for the rest of her life”??? I know it’s the job of the prosecutor to frame things in the worst way, but fuck everything about that. Whoever is left of her family needs to do everything they can to try to help her get past this trauma. And that baby is not her responsibility, either, and never will be.
If you’re going to say things like that, then I’d expect you to say something like, “This is Oklahoma. A child of child rape is just raised as their mother’s sister. It’s so common that they put that rule in the state constitution.”
