Killing Children - It's All The Rage!
Current mood: guilty
Category: News and Politics
While I am sure that it is the 24 hour news cycle which makes it seem so out of control, but in the last few years it still strikes me how many people are either raping children or murdering their pregnant wives. Now we have the new trend of killing your own child.
Just check out this week's two best (erm, I mean worst!) stories:
A) Woman murders her own child by cooking him to death in a microwave. This actually happened in 2006, took two trials, and ended without the death penalty (fucking juries!).
"China Arnold to be sentenced in microwave baby case
> DAYTON _ China Arnold, the woman convicted of killing her baby in a microwave oven, is scheduled to be sentenced at 11:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 8.
Arnold was spared the death penalty after the jury in her case was unable to agree on a sentencing verdict.
Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Mary Wiseman discharged the jury last week after finding jurors were at impasse.
The jury had four options: death, life without the possibility of parole, life with the possibility of parole after 30 years and life with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
Defense attorney John Paul Rion has asked for a new trial, saying a former cellmate of Arnold's who said Arnold confessed has changed her story. Arnold's first trial ended in a mistrial when a new witness came forward."

Father Charged with Rape of 8 Day-Old Baby
Reported by: Tenikka Smith
FORREST CITY, AR - Police say a Forrest City, Arkansas man has been charged with raping his 8 day-old baby.
According to a police report, officers were called to the Forrest City Medical Center, September 1, 2008, about a baby that had been sexually assaulted. Forrest City police say the baby also had a skull fracture and had to be transferred to the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock because of the severity of the injuries.
Investigators say the father attacked the infant during a visit at her 15 year-old mother's house. Police say other people were at the home at the time of the assault.
Police say Davis had no criminal record since turning 18, but could not say whether Davis had a juvy wrap-sheet. The information could not be released under Arkansas state law, said investigators.
Police say the infant's father, 18 year-old Reginald Davis, has been charged with Rape and Second-Degree Battery. The case is still under investigation and it is unknown if any other arrests will be made, said Forrest City Police.
Davis is being held on a $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in circuit court on September 17.
