Every time I read of a family member being accidentally hit over the head with a baseball bat makes me wonder why some people insist on owning baseball bats. Home defense is the usual reason given but then a family tragedy happens too often. Yes, even once is too often.
Will it do the state of Florida any good to put the grandmother in prison? No, she will be punished everyday just remembering what she did to this child."

However, look at what ACTUALLY happened. I don't think playing the "it could have been" game is useful in a tragic situation.
