Juno News - Federal Court prevents deportation of Jamaican woman who killed stepson

00:00:00.000 This is literally insane. The federal court prevented the deportation of a woman who killed

00:00:05.440 her stepson due to concerns with how she would be treated when she went back to Jamaica. I'm not

00:00:11.100 joking, she managed to successfully make the case that her immigration officer failed to properly

00:00:17.280 consider an expert report on how deportees are treated in Jamaica upon their return. And the

00:00:23.160 judge agreed with this. They also added that she would face hardship due to her medical conditions

00:00:28.000 which includes endometriosis, depression and anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.

00:00:33.600 Now what happened was her then-husband had a son from a previous relationship. He would chain his

00:00:39.220 10-year-old son up to the bed and would repeatedly hit him with a belt and took him out of school for

00:00:44.000 three years and essentially not letting him ever leave his room. And sadly, he was found dead in

00:00:49.640 their home. So both the father and stepmother were convicted of second-degree murder. But due to the

00:00:55.100 lack of mental health support in Jamaica, she will remain here. There's a lot more details to the

00:01:00.680 story. If you guys would like to check out the full thing, you can visit junonews.com. As well,

00:01:04.960 I'd love to hear your thoughts on this decision, so leave a comment and let me know.
