I would send him for jail to send a message, if you see something say something.

He had the power within him to save Robert,instead he saved his
own son first, over a child. He did not speak out until his butt
was on the line.

I hope “grandpa” does not sleep one night for the next twenty years.
Robert should haunt him morning, noon and night.

This is only my opinion.

The above comment is from the link below. I agree, Judge Williamson is my hero, too.

Daniel Ehrlick and Melissa Jenkins receive their respective sentences Friday Sept. 2, 2011 in 4th District Court in Boise, for their roles in the death of 8-year-old Robert Manwill in 2009.

Read past stories about the Robert Manwill case

Fourth District Judge Darla Williamson agreed to the 25-year fixed sentence Melissa Jenkins agreed to in a deal earlier this year when she pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting a second-degree murder in the death of her son, Robert Manwill.

Williamson said she didn’t believe Jenkins’ tears in the courtroom, or that she truly felt remorse for allowing her boyfriend, Daniel Ehlick, to beat Robert over the course of weeks, and hiding the boy’s bruises from family members and social workers. She said Jenkins’ history — three children with different fathers, a previous conviction for child battery — indicated that if Jenkins were given the opportunity she could have another chlid and she could hurt it.

Williamson earlier sentenced Ehrlick Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the beating death of the 8-year-old boy.

Ada County prosecutors say Ehrlick has never taken responsibility for the death of Robert Manwill, and when he had a chance to address the court Friday — and the boy’s family and friends who filled the courtroom — Ehrlick stayed silent.

Ada County prosecutors say Ehrlick beat Melissa Jenkins’ son to death over a series of weeks in the summer of 2009 at the family’s Bench area apartment. They say the boy died of head and chest injuries some time between July 23
 and 24 of 2009, and then he was thrown in the New York Canal.

When the boy disappeared, it turned into national news and sparked a community-wide 
search that included more than 2,300 volunteers and the FBI.



Ehrlick and Jenkins were arrested Aug. 18, 2009, and both were charged with 
first-degree murder.

An Ada County jury found Ehrlick guilty of first-degree murder in June, following a two month trial.

Ehrlick has consistently denied killing the boy and even testified on his
 own behalf at the end of the trial.

•RAW: Judge Darla Williamson hands down Ehrlick’s sentenceadd to reading list

BOISE — An Idaho man and his ex-girlfriend learned their fates Friday morning in the death of 8-year-old Robert Manwill in 2009.

Daniel Ehrlick was sentenced in a packed Boise courtroom Friday for the first-degree murder of Robert Manwill. The boy’s body was found in an irrigation canal about a week after his disappearance set off a massive search across Boise.

Ehrlick will not have the possibility of parole.

Separately, the boy’s mother, Melissa Jenkins was sentenced to 25 years in prison for her role in the death after pleading guilty earlier.

“Everyone knows, no question about it, you could have prevented the death of your son,” Jude Darla Williamson said to a tearful Jenkins. “I’m just not buying it, that you have all this remorse. I just don’t think that’s sincere. You just didn’t care.”

Jenkins addressed the courtroom before her fate was delivered.

“It’s all true,” she said. “Robert Manwill should not be dead.”

Williamson said she would have liked to impose a sentence greater than 25 years, but was limited by law.

Ehrlick was convicted in June of beating Robert to death, then stuffing rocks in the boy’s pants pockets and dumping his body in the canal.
