LETTER: Thanks for case against mother in son's death

I’d like to give a another shout-out to Prosecutor Andrew Clegg for having a spin and charging Takara Juntunen for having a hand in her 2-year-old son’s death.

I only wish this could also extend to the friends and relatives of her deceased son who testified at her boyfriend Newberry’s sentencing of their knowledge that the abuse had been ongoing for MONTHS and yet NONE of them did a thing to protect this little toddler... It’s revolting.

I certainly have high hopes that Judge Heidi Ulbricht will give the MAXIMUM sentence on Dec. 8 to Takara Juntunen. After all, she has already gotten her drug charges dropped, which in my opinion is pathetic. —Ty Fromm, Kalispell
