"CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. -- A father was sentenced to 100 years in prison for poisoning his children Thursday.

A Clayton County jury found William Cunningham guilty on all seven counts of aggravated assault and cruelty to children.

Cunningham spiked his children’s soup with prescription drugs and lighter fluid in a plot to get money from Campbell’s Soup in 2006. They nearly died.

Overcome with emotion, the children’s mother and grandmother said they now have justice for Miranda and Billy Cunningham.

“I was so proud of that jury,” said Janet Dockery, the children’s grandmother.

William Cunningham was found guilty Thursday of poisoning his 18-month-old daughter and 3-year-old son with soup laced with prescription drugs and lighter fluid, not once, but three times.

“The third time, he forced it down them and this is the one that put the kids in the hospital and made them deathly sick,” said Ron Dockery, the children’s grandfather.

The 100-year prison sentence is fitting, according to the Janet Dockery."
