"What kind of society have we become?" the judge wondered aloud before she sentenced Brian McCutchen to 35 to 70 years in prison...
Assistant District Attorney Deborah Harley told the judge: "The violence of this crime is unspeakable. No words can describe what this little girl went through... It was an unfinished murder... "As soon as this little girl screamed, he grabbed her neck and squeezed what he thought was the life out of her. And then, when she was limp, he pulled down his pants, and pulled down her pants, and tried to rape her," Harley said. The child was found unconscious and partially undressed, wedged between a toilet and a wall...
"She is unable to dress herself. She is unable to feed herself. She is afraid to go anywhere alone," Harley said. "She is afraid to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night - she wakes up her mother - because she is afraid."
