Justice In Tainted Milk Scandal?

Justice is served for the the melamine laced milk scandal from last year. Or so China hopes. Two men were sentenced to death, while one was given a suspended death sentence (may be converted to life imprisonment on good behaviour). Sanlu's, the company behind the scandal, former general manager Tian Wenhua escaped the death sentence. She was sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. Meanwhile, others were sentenced ranging from 5 years to lifetime imprisonment.

A most painful sentence from the parent of a victim:
Spring Festival is coming up, but what happiness is there for us?" said Hou Rongbo, whose son died in early January just a week before his first birthday.
