Eeyah

They should also add five charges of stupidity to her overall charges.
See as she looks like zombie.
They should even charge her won't attempted manslaughter. If there's anything like that.
Because I don't see how she's dumb enough to not know that one Python (much less 10) could strangle a kid to death

Omo see correct brunette, I just dey wonder why all ds oyinbos dey be like ds, cultural wise dem dey behind, why you go get 10 pythons for house? Huh!

She's even charged for cruelty to animals. Oyibo sha!
Those dead rats, snakes and the kid's life, which is more important?

I think she should be charged with "attempted" manslaughter as someone stated above
