Erica Mae Butts and Shanita Latrice Cunningham collapsed in court, after being sentenced to life in prison, for the beating death of 3-year-old Serenity Richardson. Defenseless little Richardson was beaten from head to toe by the duo and as such the judge threw the book at them, leaving the couple wailing and bawling in court.
The child died a horrible, painful death. They took the life of an innocent little human being with their deeds. They deserve every bit of the prison sentence. At least they are alive, a right they deprived Serenity of when they killed her. The child's mother, Ieshia Richardson stated, "All I ask is that justice be served for her today. That she finally can seriously rest in peace, and then maybe, just maybe I can breathe a breath of fresh air."
