How did this woman not end up in prison for life? How is one to fifteen years even close to justice for this child's suffering and traumatic death.

"Richard Killpack came home and his wife enlisted his help by having him hold Cassandra's arms while she forced the child to drink more.
The Killpacks then made Cassandra do exercise, including running, jumping and doing sit-ups. The child vomited and reported she couldn't keep her legs from shaking and her head hurt. She later collapsed, lost consciousness and was taken to a hospital."
How could the husband not at least be an accessory in this crime? He did not object, or intervene, but participated in the abuse.
Amazing.
