JONESBORO, Georgia – A Georgia man has been sentenced to 100 years in prison for poisoning his children to extort money from Campbell’s Soup Co.

William Cunningham was sentenced Thursday after a jury found him guilty on seven counts of aggravated assault for forcing the children in 2006 to eat soup laced with prescription drugs and lighter fluid.

His 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter were hospitalized twice. A family member said the youngsters may suffer lifelong respiratory problems from lung damage caused by the lighter fluid.

Cunningham’s wife has since divorced him.

Cunningham pleaded guilty in 2007 to a federal charge of making false claims against Campbell’s Soup by threatening to sue them over the contaminated soup.

  1. 100 years is not quite long enough in my opinion.

  3. Dear Lord! What sort of person poisons their own children to make money? He’d better be careful in prison, too. Folks who hurt children are not exactly on the top of the populatity list, even in prisons, and I have the feeeling he’s not going to live long enough to serve even a quarter of his 100 years.

  13. Does any state have the death penalty for assault? None of the children died. I thought it was just for murder.

  15. why cant we feed him some acid so it burns his mouth… he should be tortured and kept alive and tortured some more! :)

  17. There’s certainly a number of great ideas in the comments here about how chucklefucks like this should be dealt with. I especially like the acid torture idea, that would be a very fitting punishment.

  19. I think lighter fluid up his dick would work.

  20. Missy on October 23rd, 2011
  21. Anyone see the movie Hannibal? Strap him to a gurney, stand it up, and each day let a wild animal eat… Start with his feet then pour salt in the wound to coterize it… Dirty rat bastard

  23. He shoul be beatin for two weeks then separated from kids by being put pn an island
    and confined there.

  24. Jacob on October 23rd, 2011
  25. The thing I hate about this is yes he went to prison BUT he won’t be let out into the general population his little sorry ass will be put with other child molesters and POS’s in protective custody. I think he should be put in with all the other prisoners and get a little bit of beating and some man on man rough lovings :) that’s my opoinoin!!

  26. Becki Sue on October 24th, 2011
  27. So prescription pills just weren’t enough permanent damage for those poor kids? He just HAD to take that extra step to add lighter fluid? WTF?

    Enjoy prison, a-hole.

  28. Lobster Pot Girl on October 25th, 2011
  29. I hope that a** hole lives long enough to enjoy those 100 years

  30. samantha on October 25th, 2011
  31. he’s someones bitch in prison and i think he needs daily beatings to remind him what a total piece of shit he is. I hope he rots in there

  32. Dawn on October 26th, 2011
  33. The problem with prison is he won’t be in general population.

  34. Meh on October 26th, 2011
  35. I HATE TO THINK ABOUT THE WORLD GIVING HIM 3 MEALS A DAY AND A ROOF OVER HIS HEAD. JUST KILL HIM.

  36. GAIL BRUNER on October 29th, 2011
  37. na i say we skin the f**ker bring in blood for transfusions and saline of course to keep him alive, nail his ass to railroad ties with railrod spikes, give him vigorous scrubdowns to prevent infection on his skined body and then after the wounds are good and raw and seeping spinkel sea salts from head to toe. and if perhaps he goes into cardiac arrest from the shock well thats what the difibulator is for bring him back an tell him he aint going anywhere. so much so he’ll beg for death. then heal him up so he is scard and then make him do his time in a cell with doors welded shut served food by a deaf mute and the only form of recreation or stimulation would be the bible the koran or the torah his choice see i can be nice mah ha ha ha lolololo

  39. A better idea! Let’s pump a cocktail of Phentermine Hydrochloride, Potassium Chloride and Bradykinin into his blood stream to overstimulate his nervous system and maximize pain receptor potential, along with large doses of Modafinil to keep him from passing out from the pain. Then slowly slice directly into his major nerve centers with an Capsaicin laced razor blade, in order to maximize the pain to its greatest extent. Repeat indefinitely. ^__^

  41. why didn’t HE eat his little secret soup? Shithead.

  42. Daniel on November 12th, 2011
  43. [...] How? Well Patricia was the one feeding her son the drugs that eventually led to his death. Unlike one parent we featured previously, Patricia didn’t actually feed her son drugs, she just shot them in to his arm and smoked [...]

  45. Any news about A defector’s unexplainable disappearance?

  46. Chase McGraw on December 19th, 2011
  47. Um…@Mike…. Have there been any missing people in your area? Do u live near a railroad? I’m all for the extremely harsh punishment of this fucktard, but I get the feeling he wouldn’t be your first rodeo. Scary.

  48. Dsp123dsp on January 28th, 2012
  49. I think he’s a selfish dirtbag. But what about his wife, you can’t convince me she didn’t know. He poisoned them several times. I think the district attorney needs to think if he put all the guilty parties away. I’d sure as hell know if someone was poisoning my children right under my nose.
