Kyra Wine To Be Fitted w/Prosthetics

Kyra Wine will be fitted with prosthetics in the next few weeks. In the meantime the three-year-old must learn to put weight on her stubs. “That’s what they call them,” said her grandmother Deanna, an EMT and the head of the local ambulance service. The “stubs” are what remains of Kyra’s feet. Surgeons at Sacred Heart Medical Center amputated most of the toddler’s feet in June to remove dead flesh authorities say Kyra suffered as a result of abuse inflicted by her mother and mother’s boyfriend at their Hells Gulch home/Ralph Bartholdt, St. Maries Gazette-Record.

Question: Should Judge Gibler accept the plea agreement for Haynes' testimony against her boyfriend? Or throw the book at her?
