Parents sentenced in death of 4-year-old in Pennsylvania CARLISLE, PA. (AP) - The par ents of a 4-year-old boy who starved to death were sentenced Tuesday to five to 10 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter, aggravated as sault and endangering the wel fare of a child. Anthony E. Thomas told the judge he “was sorry for what hap pened” to Quincy Thomas, who died at a hospital in 2002, his attorney said. “We understand why the jury concluded what they did in re gards to involuntary manslaugh ter,” but an appeal of the aggra vated assault conviction is planned, defense lawyer Karl E. Rominger said. Shenique T. Thomas’ attorney read a statement saying she “knows now she should have tak en Quincy to the doctor, and she’s sorry she didn’t.” Prosecutors say Quincy weighed just 20 pounds when he died at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and that mattress stuffing and building in sulation was detected in his di gestive tract and beneath his fin gernails. The couple’s four other children, all girls, are in foster care. N.Y. man longs to be reunited * with pet tiger after mauling BY LARRY NEUMEISTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — A man who raised a tiger in his New York apartment limped out of a courthouse on a badly bitten leg Tuesday, wishing he could be reunited with his wild pet. "I’d love to see my tiger,” Antoine Yates said of the 400 pound cat, Ming, as he left state court, released without bail. "He didn’t really attack me. He got con fused and I got caught in the cross pp fire.” Yates, 31, faces a charge of reck less endangerment and two counts of possession of a wild animal. Conviction for reckless endanger ment carries a sentence of up to seven years. Judge Melissa Jackson reject ed a prosecutor’s argument that Yates should be held on $15,000 bail because he lied about his in juries to doctors and then fled to Philadelphia. Yates, a bitten arm hanging in a sling, appeared tired as he de scribed how Ming, an orange and white Siberian-Bengal mix, at tacked him last Wednesday in an , apparent attempt to get at a pet kit ten in the apartment. Animal control officers, police and Bronx Zoo workers on Saturday captured the 20-month old tiger, which had been kept in the fifth-floor apartment in Harlem since he was a 6-week-old cub. They also found a 5-foot-long al ligator. Both were tranquilized and removed to sanctuaries. Assistant District Attorney Jeremy Saland said Yates was a "man trying to create an animal sanctuary in his apartment.” He suggested that Yates had once had a pet lion.
