Father’s Last Chance to See Daughter | Dover News
Description
A father’s desperate plea: Wendell Smallwood, serving time for gun and fraud charges, fights to be with his terminally ill 8-year-old daughter Mila before she dies. His lawyer argues a recent legal challenge to New Jersey’s assault weapons ban creates a “manifest injustice,” allowing him to withdraw his guilty plea. The judge agrees, granting the motion — but prosecutors demand a stay to appeal, risking more time behind bars. The judge refuses, saying justice has been served. Mila’s fight for life continues, and her family holds tight to hope as they await Smallwood’s possible release.
