Esperanza Medina bowed her head and wept in court Monday morning as a Cook Country judge sentenced a Cicero woman to 44 year in prison for organizing an acid attack against here her in 2008. The assault with sulfuric acid burned a quarter of Medina’s body and left the 50-year-old former social worker with red and white scare covering her face, neck, chest and arms. "This crime was something that was cold and calculated," Judge Nicholas Ford said before handing down the sentence. "What {Garcia} did is terrible and deserves to be punished severely." "I never thought my life would change so much in just second," wrote Medina, who had to move back into her 75-year-old mother’s house following the attack. "I had so many dreams still to achieve, but they were broken down."

In my opinion, the judge was fair. He gave her 44 years in jail. This is right because Garcia threw acid at Esperanza Medina. This action was similar to an assault what Garcia did was similar to murder.
