Nanny Guilty Of Abuse Gets 8 Years
Jeannie Campbell Faced Up To 15 Years In Prison

POSTED: Friday, August 27, 2010

Jeannine Campbell reads letter of apology to the family during Friday's sentencing hearing.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A letter of apology Jeannine Campbell read to the family of the boy she was seen abusing on a nannycam did not sway a judge from sentencing the 53-year-old woman to eight years in prison and seven additional years of probation.

"You have admitted in open court to abusing the most vulnerable and defenseless among us," Judge Adrian Soud said Friday afternoon in announcing the sentence. "The law rightly rushes to the defense of those so helpless."

Last month, Campbell pleaded guilty to three counts of child abuse that resulted from abuse seen on hidden-camera video, showing Campbell repeatedly hitting the baby.

"My heart is screaming every day. I'm so very sorry. I had never behaved so horribly," Campbell read through tears on the witness stand. "It's hard to cope with what I did. I can't believe that someone could do it, and, my God, it was me."

Under questioning by prosecutors, she admitted that she was mad at the family, but said that is no excuse for her actions -- none of which she said she remembered until she was shown the videotape.
