The State Prosecutor's Office has appealed to the Supreme Court to significantly increase the sentence for a father convicted of severe and repeated abuse of his infant son, who was only a month old when the abuse began. Among other acts, the father would choke the baby until he lost consciousness to silence his crying and put him to sleep. Despite the severity of the acts and the real danger to the infant's life, the Jerusalem District Court sentenced the father to only 12 months of actual imprisonment. The prosecution described the sentence as a "complete disregard" for the severity of the crimes.
