Ga. father gets 100 years for poisoning kids' soup
1 hr 9 mins ago


JONESBORO, Ga. - A Georgia man was sentenced to 100 years in prison for
poisoning his two children to extort money from Campbell Soup Co.
William Cunningham was sentenced Thursday after a jury found him guilty
of five counts of cruelty to children and two counts of aggravated
assault, said Kellie Perry, a clerk at the Clayton County Superior
Court.

The girl and boy, then 18 months old and 3 years old, were hospitalized
after Cunningham fed them soup tainted with prescription drugs and
lighter fluid.

On one occasion, authorities said he used the prescription drugs Prozac
and Amitriptyline - both used to treat depression - to poison the
children.

Cunningham was arrested in March 2006. According to prosecutors, the
former dump truck driver called Campbell in January 2006 and threatened
to sue the company because its soup was contaminated. He pleaded guilty
in 2007 to a federal charge of making false claims against the company.

Authorities said there was no evidence the soup was tainted when it was
purchased. A family member said the children may suffer lifelong
respiratory problems after swallowing the poisoned soup.

The children's mother, Rhonda Cunningham, filed for divorce during the
case.

Another six-pack member of the RNC. Surprised he didn't shoot 'em and
make a claim against the ammo maker.
One track mind. Sad. No reasoning power along with no sense of humor.
You didn't think the claim against the ammo manufacturer was funny?

Perhaps the problem is that you have a very narrow sense of humor.

Too stupid to be funny.




Interesting...that's the opinion most thinking adults have of you!
