Comments on: Sandra Cantu’s Body To Be Exhumed? http://insanfrancisco.today.com/2009/04/18/sandra-cantus-body-to-be-exhumed/ San Francisco & The Bay Area by Joanne Olivieri Sat, 26 Dec 2009 21:36:10 +0000 http://www.today.com/version-2.3.1 By: RNSANE http://insanfrancisco.today.com/2009/04/18/sandra-cantus-body-to-be-exhumed/#comment-6362 RNSANE Sun, 19 Apr 2009 18:31:27 +0000 http://insanfrancisco.today.com/2009/04/18/sandra-cantus-body-to-be-exhumed/#comment-6362 It is a shame the defense couldn't have taken care of this before the child's funeral! Of course, with the accusations against Melissa Huckaby and the death penalty or a life sentence pending, she is entitled to all the defense can do to prove her innocence, if possible. Even though the statistics are small for this type of crime being committed by a female perpetrator, it DOES happen. I know that all too well, having worked 21 years in the field of child sexual abuse. Most often, crimes such as these are committed by someone the child knows in some capacity, seldom a complete stranger. It is very hard for us to accept this.
