JONESBORO, Ga. – A Georgia man is sentenced to 100 years in prison for poisoning his children to extort money from Campbell's Soup Co.

William Cunningham was sentenced Thursday after a jury found him guilty on seven counts of aggravated assault for forcing the children in 2006 to eat soup laced with prescription drugs and lighter fluid.

His 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter were hospitalized twice. A family member said the youngsters may suffer lifelong respiratory problems from lung damage caused by the lighter fluid.

Cunningham's wife has since divorced him.

Cunningham pleaded guilty in 2007 to a federal charge of making false claims against Campbell's Soup by threatening to sue them over the contaminated soup.

Okay here is a thought why not eat the soup himself! Instead harm to perfectly healthy, loving children you sick f2ck. I think he should be served this special soup everday in jail. :)

I agree. Eat it himself if he wants to act a fool and do that. Those poor kids. Shows money means more to him than his kids did.
