Judge quotes: "her grandfather, who you admit you probably caused him to pass away prematurely a couple of days after this horrible action, and you have, in this report, taken responsibility for that. You still don't take responsibility fully for what you did to Leanda." "We haven't even mentioned Hailey, who is the biggest victim of this. She's going to grow up without her mother." "Let me tell you, I sat through the trial, Mr.Dickel, and I don't believe that Hailey had anything to do with the death of her mother, and your trying to put the blame on Hailey to some extent was not right. And after hearing the evidence, I don't have any doubt in my mind that, at the very least, you pointed this gun at Leanda and that you deliberately pulled the trigger." "at the very least, I believe that you did, from the evidence, point the gun at her head and deliberately pull the trigger." "I agree with the Prosecutor that the penalties are not adequate in this type of situation," "You have a prior misdemeanor record. In 1998, it began as far as an adult-driving a motor vechicle with a measurable amount of alcohol while under the age of 21; 1999, you were convicted of a crime after being arrested for driving suspended, possession of a deadly weapon and possession of a controlled substance." "Then later, you possessed marijuana, less that fifteen grams, and obstructing an officer." "You have a history of drug usage that continued right up to the time of the death of Leanda." "I believe that you deserve a greater penalty than I am permitted by law to give you today, but I will sentence you to the maxium sentences provided by our legislature." "On Count One, you'll be sentenced to one year" "On Count Two, wanton endagerment involving a firearm, you will be sentenced to the maxium five years provided by law." "One after another." "I will recommend to the Commissioner of the Departmeny of Corrections that you serve the maxium penalty provided by law upon your conviction."
