Could one find a clearer example of gender bias and the female sentencing discount than this? Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby is not being charged with any crime. Let's review:
1) Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby left her toddler daughter in her car (in heat which reached 100 degrees) for eight hours while she worked.
2) According to police, the dead girl, Cecelia Nesselroad-Slaby, had been left in a hot car on at least three other occasions.
3) Security video shows that Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby was able to remember--twice--to unload the doughnuts she brought for meetings at her job, but nevertheless left her daughter in her car seat. The event is pictured.
4) According to press reports, she previously "had been told by a former administrator at her 5-year-old daughter's preschool that the younger sister shouldn't be left in the car by herself."
5) Clermont County prosecutor Don White, who will not be prosecuting Brenda Nesselroad-Slaby, was asked whether the woman's other daughter--the 5-year-old who she hasn't killed yet--should be allowed to remain in the family's home. He actually replied--with a straight face on national television--"I have no reason to believe that she won't take care of this child."
