How Long Will Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt Serve In Prison, Eric Faddis Weighs In?

Malevolent Mormon Mommys | The Case Against Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt

This episode of Hidden Killers dives into the sentencing of Mormon mommy bloggers Ruby Frankie and Jody Hildebrandt, who were convicted of child abuse. Host Tony Brueski is joined by former Felony Prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis to dissect the details of the case and the sentencing process.
Key points discussed:
Sentencing: Both Frankie and Hildebrandt received 4 consecutive 15-year sentences, with the possibility of parole after serving 1 year per sentence. Faddis explains how the final sentence length will be determined by the prison system based on factors like behavior and good time credits.
Plea Deal: The defendants opted for a plea deal to avoid a trial and potentially spare the victims further trauma. Faddis analyzes the strategic move and its potential benefits in terms of reduced sentencing.
Accountability: While both received the same sentence, the discussion delves into whether Frankie, as the alleged ringleader, deserved harsher punishment.
Rehabilitation: Faddis expresses optimism for rehabilitation but questions the depth of change possible after such extreme behavior.
Protecting Children: The episode concludes with the hope that Frankie and Hildebrandt will be kept away from children for an extended period.
Overall, this episode offers a nuanced look at the complexities of the case, the legal aspects of sentencing, and the ongoing challenges of child abuse.
