Left wing dad gets 18 years for trying to kill 7-year-old daughter with Liquid-Plumr

A Massachusetts father convicted of poisoning his 7-year-old 
daughter with Liquid-Plumr was sentenced to 16 to 18 years in 
prison.

Prosecutors say that in April 2015, Christopher Conley, of 
Northampton, injected the drain cleaner into his daughter's 
cecostomy tube, which is used to help people empty their bowels. 
He then overdosed her on pain medication, the Northwestern 
District Attorney's Office in western Massachusetts said in a 
press release.

Conley, 37, was found guilty Friday of attempted murder, assault 
and battery on a child by means of a dangerous weapon, and 
assault and battery on a child causing substantial bodily injury.

A Hampshire Superior Court judge handed down the sentence on 
Monday, giving Conley credit for 891 days he already served 
behind bars, according to NBC Boston.

The girl had a cecostomy tube to treat constipation, according 
to the Daily Hampshire Gazette.

After the poisoning, she suffered serious injuries and underwent 
a seven-hour surgery to remove over six feet of her intestines 
and a second procedure to remove a third of her bladder.

The child, now 12, was adopted after the incident. Before the 
father's sentencing on Monday, the adoptive mother read a victim 
impact statement saying her daughter sees a therapist to cope 
with what happened to her.

“She continues to deal with the unknown: the unknown of why this 
was done with her, the unknown of what she will have to face in 
the future, the unknown of whether her reproductive organs have 
been damaged and whether she will ever be able to have children 
of her own,” the woman said, according to the Daily Hampshire 
Gazette.

“She now lives with multiple physical and emotional scars," the 
mother said. “She will live with these scars for the rest of her 
life.”

Child Abuse Unit Chief ADA Linda Pisano said after Conley was 
convicted that "the child got some justice today."

Conley's ex-wife, Julie Conley, was also charged and is 
scheduled for trial on March 9, according to The Republican.
