Overview
- Prosecutors continue to seek eleven years in prison plus TBS with compulsory psychiatric treatment for both defendants.
- Johnny van den B. says he deserves punishment but rejects the length and TBS, denying assaults while admitting he bound the girl and locked her in a cage he says was not electrified.
- The lawyer for Daisy W. requests acquittal on intentionally causing serious bodily harm, asserting she neither built nor used the cage and accepting only limited culpability for leaving the child in a helpless state.
- Defense teams argue youth-care agencies failed to provide help despite repeated requests, citing inspection findings of poor cooperation between services.
- The case covers alleged abuse of the girl, her half-sister and two other foster children, with reported fractures and brain injury that forensic experts have not conclusively attributed.
