This evil bastard shot an innocent baby between the eyes because his Mother would not give him any money in a robbery attempt. The killers Mother is also guilty for helping him try to get away w/ it.

De'Marquise Elkins guilty in Brunswick baby murder case | 11alive.com (http://www.11alive.com/news/article/304727/40/Jury-deliberating-fate-of-teen-in-Brunswick-baby-death-trial)

I predict he will be killed in Jail. I hope he experiences ultimate torture and horror before that happens.

Baby's still dead... Sadly there are no winners here.

At least this small piece of the justice system worked.

And, yes, a baby killer - he's a dead man walking

Most likely not. When he is in jail he is going to have his own private cell that's 1200SQ FT with a bouncy view. Not to mention due to other inmates that might hurt him, he most likely won't be working either

So to sum it up he gets private cell, doesn't have work, gets to free load of tax payers money for say 30years.

I would much rather seem him kill (eye for an eye) or be ship to 3rd world country and sold as slave.

U realize this is in the US, right, not Canada

Exactly, what the hell are you tripping on? They are given a cell a fraction of that size W/O a view, dreamer boy.

[Traum]

As 4444 says, there are no winners here -- the baby is still dead.

Times like this is when I think capital punishment is needed.

I think in the first post he saw Brunswick and thought New Brunswick and not Brunswick,GA

This happened in Georgia where they have capital punishment. Looks like the death penalty is a great deterrent for these types of crimes... NOT!

In this case, I would think of the death penalty as less of a deterrent, but more of a means to bring closure to the victim's family. No, it doesn't replace the loss of the baby's life. But I suppose it is probably worth something...

baby killers/pedophiles/rapists get attacked all the time in the penitentiary/pre-trial jails, even with protective custody wings

[chouchou]

My god.. the guy is only 18. Don't really know what to think. RIP

[E-SPEC]

He did not get the death penalty because he was 17 at the time of the crime.

[Mr.HappySilp]

I still think he should be kill. At 17 he is more than aware of what he is doing and can make a clear decision.

Executing someone makes you no better than the killer.

[DC5-S]

Executing someone makes you no better than the killer.

Yes it does, because you're not killing an innocent person, you're killing someone that has killed an innocent person.. A burden on this earth

[punkwax]

inb4 Ghandi quote.

RIP to the baby.

[124Y]

Either way, just like what 4444 said, there are no winners here. RIP :(

[E-SPEC]

Executing someone makes you no better than the killer.

And people like you are no better than the judges who let murderers and pedophiles off w/ BS light sentences.

[Redlines_Daily]

What's the point of threads like this...so much negative news shared here, I swear some of you guys just like finding new reasons to be angry at the world.

[E-SPEC]

Well lol how can you be no better than someone who killed a baby in cold blood?? That makes no sense. Refering to failers..

You don't have to view the thread if you don't want to. I'm certainly not angry at the world. Just saying.

[Manic!]

Lots of people are a burden on society should they all be killed? and look at how many people have been wrongly sent to death row.

Sending a lifetime in jail is a lot harder on the criminal than being killed by the government. Also Why doesn't every murderer get the death penalty?

If murder is illegal no one should be allowed to commit it including the government.

Because the death sentence is an easy way out. Oh, sure, most people condemned to death still wait for years before it happens due to the amount of appeals they tend to file, but at the end of the day, it's a big hearty meal of whatever they want to eat, they go lie down, get stuck with a needle, and basically fall asleep before dying.

I'd be more than happy having some of my tax dollars going towards keeping people like this alive, so that their fellow inmates get to perform a version of vigilante justice that us regular folks are unable to dispense. Call me cruel, but I'd rather this guy suffers for as long as possible before likely dying painfully from a makeshift shiv rather than stay in an isolated cell and receive a painless death. Hammurabi's Code stating an Eye For An Eye may have it's place at certain times, but in this case I'd rather an eye, arm, foot, liver, kidney, teeth, etc For An Eye.

[E-SPEC]

I agree w/ you, more less speaking on just the entirety of killing someone who killed someone so innocent.

[Ulic Qel-Droma]

we can take this logic another step further.

we want to prevent crimes. only the living can commit crimes, therefore, to live is a crime. death should be the punishment for all living.

every human, is a potential criminal. all humans are guilty. execute them all. there will be peace without the living.

i mean, not all bacteria are harmful, but we make no subjective choice to spare which ones are on our counter top. we just wipe them all out. that's safest and easiest right?
same goes as bugs... same goes as anything we "don't like"... why be so choosy when it is ourselves under the microscope?



in a blink of an eye, irrational decisions can be made based on extreme emotions alone. no one is immune to this.

it only depends if you've ever come across one of the many possibilities where you will lose sight of what's right and wrong and do something extremely regrettable.

Not everyone here believes in the death penalty even for such heinous crimes such as this.

Yeah, I thought this was what the "No Need to Start a New Thread..." thread was about. Also, when I first read to title I expected to be some well-known case.

Maybe someone should start a "Crime" thread to post these things in....

[Phil@rise]

Its a sad case. Baby killed before its mothers very eyes. That poor woman will have that image burned into her memory and relive it daily. A 17 year old boy found guilty of doing it who will now spend the rest of his life behind bars. Whyd he do it? What will become of him?
Food for thought, is he better off in jail all his adult life for a crimes he committed as a youth? Is society better off for this as well? Or is there another solution? Perhaps this is why there is no winners in this situation. Two lives needlessly wasted.

[MG1]

According ot the story, this was not the first time the kid robbed a person with a weapon. Mother of the perp is obviously not a model citizen, either. Not sure if a kid like that can be fixed. He will most likely kill again. He's most likely one of those "children without a conscience." I've met a few in my lifetime and let me tell you, you get the most eeriest, creepy vibes from these people.

In any case, nothing will bring the baby back. I feel for the victim's mother. Hope she finds strength to heal (easier said than done). RIP to the baby. Life taken away so early.

[fsy82]

Some of you may not be parents and the ones that are understand the pain and rage you feel when you hear these types of stories. If that happened to my son I would want an eye for an eye.

[604STIG]

Hopefully he gets put into Gen. Pop. and will get the torture and abuse that he deserves for some time before somebody puts a permanent end to it. Here's to wishful thinking as grim as it may be. Some people are just out to see the world burn and everyone in it, society doesn't need that.

[E-SPEC]

Also another fact about this Mother here, her first born son was stabbed and killed at teh age of 17 years old. Can't even imagine the horror she must feel. She had moved to where she thought was a better area for her son after the first Son was murdered. There is a video of her telling it all and it brought tears to my eyes. And it takes quite a bit for me to shed a tear.

[Phil@rise]

Thats even more terrible how could someone find the strength to live on after loosing two children to needless violence?!

[stewie]

im a strong believer of "eye for an eye"

if someone kills someone and there's witnesses to 100% identify the killer. then yes, I believe he should be killed.

putting him in prison for life is a waste of tax payers money and cell space and having him killed would hopefully set an example for future killers.

I don't care how they kill the person...hang him, lethal injection, firing squad, cement boots, or any other way you can think of...all this kid has to do in prison is at his first meal grab his spork and find the small old guy and dig it into his eye/jugular etc and get himself thrown into solitary confinement where hes safe from all the other prisoners for a while.

fail me all you want, but I think they should just kill the damn kid.

[2 n r]

how is this good news for him? :lawl:

So you are O.K. with killing kids?

[stewie]

So you are O.K. with killing kids?

no, I pretty much call anyone younger then me a kid, so its natural for me to refer to an 18 year old as a kid when I talk.

[E-SPEC]

It is good news that he was found guilty. I keep forgetting you need to word things 100% perfectly here.

i re-worded what i said. They know what i meant.
