Last month a jury found a husband and wife guilty of two counts of aggravated child abuse and a separate count of child abuse, Tuesday they heard their sentence in Seventh Circuit Court.
53-year-old David Roney and 41-year-old Mary Roney were facing up to 40 years in prison, but Tuesday Judge John Delaney handed down a five-year suspended imposition sentence. Delaney told the Roneys he doesn't believe they're a threat to the community, but they could be to their family. The Roney's were accused of abusing their children with a fan belt, and shocking them with a cattle prod. The children have been removed from their home. Jim Peterson |
