Sentenced: Woman arrested after 7yo Caden found dead in Denver storage unit

[QuickSugar]

Fucked up thing is that I know this guy. Or at least knew him.

 

[MildlyMedicated]

She should spend her sentence with various body parts encased in cement. Torso for 2 weeks, both arms for a few weeks, a leg and an arm for awhile. Just keep the cement coming!

 

[Sejanus]

Encase them both in concrete up to the waist.
Then drop them in the ocean.

 

[Olivia]

Omg. This one killed me back when it was posted.
She should do that time at my house instead of the clinker.....

It's weird for me because I used to be friends with him. I worked with him. We would write together. Then drugs ...yadda yadda yadda he's now a monster.

It happens. You can really never know a person. They show you only what they want you to see. None of us are immune to this deception, and all of us also do it to some degree ourselves.

Please tell me the “yadda yadda yadda” part wasn’t during the time this child was alive.

 

[QuickSugar]

@Olivia Yes, the child was still alive The yadda yadda yadda part is for the period of time he started his downward spiral into drugs and violence.

The father of a 7-year-old boy whose body was found in a storage unit pleaded guilty in his death under a plea deal with prosecutors.

Leland Pankey, 40, pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in death and tampering with a deceased body in the death of Caden McWilliams but prosecutors dropped a murder charge.

Pankey's wife, Elisha Pankey, previously pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in death under a plea deal that required her cooperation with prosecutors.

In a statement, Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said prosecutors agreed to the plea deal partly because there was a risk of going to trial on a murder charge because authorities could not specify how the boy died.

She said they also had to consider re-traumatizing Caden's other relatives as well as the jury and judge in trying what she called “one of the most horrific cases ever handled" by the district attorney's office.

“My office will argue for the maximum amount of prison time at sentencing,” she said.

She was sentenced to 32 years

DENVER — The mother of a 7-year-old Denver boy whose body was found encased in concrete has been sentenced to 32 years in prison for her role in his death, officials announced on Wednesday.

Elisha Pankey, 45, pleaded guilty last year to a felony charge of child abuse resulting in death of her son, Caden McWilliams, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office. In February, Leland Pankey — the father of McWilliams — was sentenced to 72 years in prison for his role in the death.

Elisha Pankey, the mother of a 7-year-old boy who was found dead and encased in concrete in a southeast Denver storage unit in 2018, was sentenced Wednesday to 32 years in prison plus five years of parole. It is the maximum sentence for child abuse resulting in death, which Pankey pleaded guilty to in August 2019.

Caden McWilliams’ body was found in a storage unit on Dec. 23, 2018. The body was encased in concrete in a dog carrier.

Police discovered the body after a domestic violence call.

Denver DA Beth McCann issued the following statement, in part, about Elisha’s sentencing:

“The horrific death of Caden McWilliams shocked the conscience and was incomprehensible to the people of Denver. Now that Elisha Pankey has been sentenced, the legal proceedings in this case have concluded. Yet Caden’s story is one that will always be in my heart, the hearts of our incredible prosecutors, victim advocates and investigators, as well as everyone who knew and loved Caden.”

So you saw a person descend from basically a normal person into a crazy child-killing monster thx to drugs.

The drugs problem in USA and the way the US gov has basically allowed it, no real 'war' except against individuals so they can feed the self-perpetuating prison system, should be considered a crime against humanity and maybe one day will be.

 

[Satanica]

You left out the for profit rehab centers. Yeah, we've managed to make misery into a racket for the most part.

Drugs should be decriminalized.

If you commit a crime because you are on drugs or to get drugs you should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Charitable donations should pay for drug rehab.

Sort-of.

The drugs called illegal at this time shouldn't be possible for addicts to obtain.

Addicts need help and absolute non-access to the drugs.

This could be achieved, but it would take money and genuine effort, and it is not being done in USA because the tragedy of addiction is not cared about by the people who control the money. If anything, it is a convenience to them, a thing to keep a 'justice system' busy and to keep the poor occupied.

I do not think it is a coincidence that the drug problem began shortly after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed.

It represents a crime against humanity for a government or other organization to knowingly contribute to people becoming addicted to a substance. IMO this includes one of the biggest killers worldwide: tobacco. Tobacco is evil, it typically waits until someone is reaching the end of their productive work lives and then conveniently destroys them sometime around or after retirement age. The other drugs, the ones they outlawed, ruin people while they are still working age, so they are singled out as the no-no drugs.

People have free will.

You will never stop the proliferation of drugs and it is not responsibility of others to pay for or care for drug addicts.

There are other addictions that could be included too.

If this is rephrased as:

"The proliferation of drugs can never be stopped and it's not the domain of public health care to rehabilitate the addicted",

I need to disagree on both points .

Free will isn't an issue when it comes to drug addiction. Addicts have lost their free will. That is the definition of addict. #1 prio needs to be never allowing any susceptible sentient species, such as humans, to have their free will taken from them by starting to take hyper-addictive drugs. Then, fix the ones you got.

Cigarette addicts are, to an extent, enslaved. I wish African-Americans especially would come to see it for what it is. I think they would be especially enraged by it if they fully internalized the facts behind cigarette addiction.

Edit: wtf I just found out that Rodney King drowned. Wtf, drowned in his own swimming pool, body discovered hanging out at the bottom of it. Believed to have had a cardiac arrhythmia, with drug abuse as a contributing factor to the situation, at an inopportune moment.

King died 28 years to the day after his father, Ronald King, was found dead in his bathtub in 1984

wtffffffffffffff

With some exceptions the first time someone uses drugs it is of free will.

You cannot take away someone's civil liberties because of your beliefs or their poor choices.

I guess some could argue that pedophiles have no free will over their attraction to children - should we not hold them accountable?

Nothing is stopping you or any other person from donating to help drugs addicts overcome their addiction.

I guess some could argue that pedophiles have no free will over their attraction to children - should we not hold them accountable?

There is unfortunately some logic to this. I don't think anyone is born into this world and says "Yeah. I want to grow up into a person who is sexually attracted to CHILDREN for my whole life! And if I don't have the self-control to not indulge myself and I get caught, my life is fucked!!!!!11".

I have faith that as long as our species does not war itself back into the stone age, our medical science will eventually advance to where we will be able to reprogram sexual desires in pedophiles to something more healthy. And a political faction with its own axe to grind won't be able to stop it. This may not happen in USA at first, but somewhere, sometime, it should come. Never say never.

Professor Albert Einstein was asked by friends at a recent dinner party what new weapons might be employed in World War III. Appalled at the implications, he shook his head.

After several minutes of meditation, he said. “I don’t know what weapons might be used in World War III. But there isn’t any doubt what weapons will be used in World War IV.”

“And what are those?” a guest asked.

“Stone spears,” said Einstein.

Fundamentally, we've changed so little, if at all. We would go back to so many bad things if this civilization we have goes down.
