TopicNanny sets fire to employer's house to bamboozle the family for cash...

...Instead, she ended up killing three children and their mother, and has been sentenced to death:
https://tinyurl.com/y7xo5gq9

A Chinese court sentenced a nanny to death Friday for setting a fire that killed three children and their mother, in a case that has prompted a national discussion about greed, trust, inequality and neglect.

The nanny, Mo Huanjing, 35, was convicted of arson for igniting her employers apartment in June. Authorities said Mo, who had more than $9,500 in gambling debt, had planned to start a fire and then extinguish it, hoping that the family would reward her financially for coming to their rescue.

In its decision Friday, the Hangzhou Intermediate Peoples Court in eastern China called Mos motive despicable and said that she had seriously damaged public security and caused social harm.

The father of the children, Lin Shengbin, who was away on a business trip at the time of the fire, attended the sentencing Friday. On his blog, titled Wife and Children in Heaven, he praised the courts decision.

The devil finally got punished by the law, he wrote. Ive been tortured day and night for more than 200 days. Today, there is finally resolution.

The case touched a nerve among the growing ranks of Chinas urban middle class, many of whom depend on less well-off workers from rural areas for child care, cooking and cleaning.

In the immediate aftermath of the fire, some expressed sympathy for Mo, saying she was overburdened by debt and desperate.

But public opinion turned decidedly against Mo amid news reports that portrayed her as a gambling addict who had stolen and pawned the familys jewelry, and squandered money the family had lent her.

The reaction to the courts decision Friday was overwhelmingly positive.

If she died 100 times it wouldnt be enough, wrote one user on Weibo, a microblogging platform.

In a letter made public during her trial, Mo expressed remorse, saying, If my death will make everything start over again, Im willing to be sentenced to death.

It was unclear if Mo would appeal the decision. Under Chinese law, the Supreme Peoples Court in Beijing must review death sentences.

While the Chinese government says it has reduced the use of the death penalty in recent years, it does not release statistics, and China is still believed to execute far more prisoners than any other country. Critics of the legal system argue that the government uses the penalty disproportionately against poorer people.

The court said in its decision that Mo had investigated methods to start fires and searched Will arson lead to prison? online before committing the crime. Officials said she had stolen more than $28,000 worth of belongings from the family to pay off debts, including jewelry and watches, and that the family had lent her more than $18,000.

Mo started the fire by lighting books in the living room, officials said. When it grew out of control, she fled the apartment, leaving the children, including two boys and a girl, along with their mother, Zhu Xiaozhen. She then called police, who took her in for questioning.

Relatives of Lin said that he was still struggling with the pain of losing his family. Lins online clothing business was named for his children, and they served as models for his brand.

During one recent courtroom hearing, according to news reports, he threw a flask at Mo, hitting a court officer instead.

He cant go to sleep when he thinks of them, an uncle, Lin Shengfeng, said by telephone. He doesnt seem to be getting better. It still takes time.

Do you think she should be sentenced to death? Or do you believe that she should just be left to rot in prison for the rest of her life?

There are Black people who do make fun of Asians. Just as there are Asian who do the same with Black people, and even look down on them due to Asians' general higher socioeconomic setting.

I thought the cartoons were great and they had voice actors that fit those roles well so I don't think their dialog will be weird if they find the right people for the part. I'm just wondering how over the top it would be

That's true, but that was before voices in games became widespread. Ever since the N64 era, Mario and Luigi have just been spouting canned phrases.

On that note, I wonder if they'll get Charles Martinet to reprise his roles? He'd have to keep those voices up for the whole movie. I don't know if Martinet's Mario and Luigi (and others) voices won't get grating after a while, or if he could keep it up for 90 minutes.

It's pretty good, but does it really need the Amiibo scanner? It would probably be a lot cheaper without that thing.

Maybe, but it'd probably cost more to buy the controller and the scanner separately.
