Waggy, you don't just teach a 2 year old to not look out the window of your house. Looking out my window is not "peaking" into another's windows. There are steps to take, like putting up a privacy fence, or security blinds.

But to assume that I should teach my kids that looking out windows is bad is just stupid. On that same note, I can only control my immediate environment. I can make sure they don't watch adult TV, but without teaching them to never look out the windows, I can't control what they look at once there face is to the glass, other than doing things I have already mentioned.

nope they are free to look out there windows. They are not free to look inothers. if you do not like what you see inisde put up a fence or plant trees.

to say the guy was a bad person because he walks around HIS house naked is wrong.

The guy wasn't a bad person because he walked around his own house naked. He was an asshole because he constantly did it with the blinds pulled up/open even after his neighbors and the police asked him not to do it.

More than likely, he did in fact violate his area's indecent exposure law.

Don't peeping tom.

Peeping tom has nothing to do with it.

even if the guy DID molest the girl, how can it be right to force the 87 year old elderly mother to discover her dead son's body? (which she was obviously going to do, since the son and elderly mother lived in the same house)

I believe it stated that she was in the room when he stabbed the guy. Though I may be wrong. She is blind anyways so it doesn't matter.

Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb

Even if the victim (dead guy) was guilty of indecent exposure, the killer has now deprived his own children of a father. Of course, his children are better off without him.

This guy is fvcked, even if the neighbor did what the kid accused. In real life juries aren't filled with emotional hicks a la "A Time to Kill" and there will be at least one individual with a sense of realism about how a society must operate.

Aye.

i can not blame the guy. but what if the guy was not guilty of the crime? the father was going off infromation from a 2 yr old child.

exactly, the 2yr old could have just been angry with the neighbor for something and used something they hear about getting people in trouble.

Anyone know if it has been verified he molested them.

FAIRFIELD, Connecticut (AP) -- Police have concluded that a 2-year-old girl was not molested by a neighbor whom the girl's father is accused of stabbing to death in rage, a police official said Thursday.

Jonathon Edington, a 29-year-old attorney from Fairfield, is charged with killing Barry James on August 28 after his wife told him their daughter had indicated James touched her inappropriately "in the starry night," police said.

Edington pleaded not guilty last week. (Full story)

"We're confident this 2-year-old was not molested," said Capt. Gary MacNamara. "We are confident in our investigation that Mr. Edington did in fact kill Mr. James. We are as confident in our investigation that Mr. James did not molest the Edingtons' daughter."

MacNamara confirmed that investigators interviewed the girl but declined to release further details.

MacNamara also would not comment on whether the girl's mother would be charged. A molestation complaint was filed against James shortly after he was killed.

A telephone message left Thursday for Edington's attorney, Andrew Bowman, was not returned.

"The family of Barry James is adamant that Barry James was not a child molester, would never have harmed that child," Richard Meehan, the family's attorney, said Tuesday. "We fully anticipated and expected there would be nothing to corroborate this. I believe the complaint is untrue."

According to a police report describing the mother's account, the girl told her mother about the alleged molestation while the family was visiting relatives in Rhode Island.

The girl "explained that she did not want to go home because of Barry," police said in the report. When her mother asked her to explain, the girl said "that Barry puts it on her belly and her nose," the report said. When her mother asked her when James does this, she replied, "He comes to me in the starry nights."

Police say that after Edington's wife told him what their daughter said, Edington climbed through James' bedroom window and repeatedly stabbed him

You mean, he is better at killing innocent people than any other lawyer?

The girl "explained that she did not want to go home because of Barry," police said in the report. When her mother asked her to explain, the girl said "that Barry puts it on her belly and her nose," the report said. When her mother asked her when James does this, she replied, "He comes to me in the starry nights."


Why would the kid say that? Creepy.

There is no evidence the girl made any statement at all.

So it's pretty silly to keep analyzing it for it's meaning, when there's no reason to think the child even said it.

please provide the statements as the posts above are by ATOT's perv's.

Here is the latest:

FAIRFIELD ? Police on Thursday confirmed what State's Attorney Jonathan Benedict told the media three days ago: No evidence exists to support the claim that murder victim Barry C. James had molested his accused killer's 2-year-old daughter.

"There's no evidence of any molestation occurring," police Capt. Gary MacNamara said. "We're confident that the evidence does not support any molestation."

MacNamara declined to say whether police plan to charge Christina Edington, wife of accused killer Jonathon Edington, with making a false statement to police. "I don't know at this point if we're pursuing anything on those lines," he said.

Christina Edington's Aug. 28 call to her husband, accusing Colony Street neighbor James of molesting their daughter, caused him to fly into a rage, burst through James' bedroom window and stab him in the chest more than a dozen times with a kitchen knife.

Christina Edington filed a molestation complaint against James with police two days after her husband was arrested for allegedly killing James.

Police said they had no knowledge of any molestation claims against James before he was killed.

Peter Ambrose, a spokesman for the James family, said they are relieved by the statements from Benedict and police.

"The family is relieved to some extent because it's one thing to have a son taken from a family, but it's another to have his name besmirched," Ambrose said Thursday. "The paradox of this whole thing is, notwithstanding the findings of the Fairfield Police Department and what was said by the state's attorney, Barry has been taken from his family."

"It's a shame of massive proportion ? it's beyond that," Ambrose said.

Ambrose said James' family knew James, 59, had not molested the Edingtons' daughter, but felt it was inappropriate to comment while the police investigated Christina Edington's claim.

He said James' family gave investigators full access to the Colony Street house where James lived with his elderly parents, his car and his medical records. The medical records indicated it was not realistic to expect James, who was heavy and had nerve damage in his legs, to be able to climb through a window in the Edington house and molest their daughter.

"We purposefully provided them with information that could be used by them. We did that because we felt all along Barry was absent any involvement in this matter," Ambrose said.

Christina Edington was on vacation in Rhode Island with their daughter on Aug. 28 when she called her husband at their Colony Street house and told him James had molested their daughter, Rebecca.

She told police she did not witness the molestation and relied on statements from the child, who allegedly said she did not want to return to their house, according to police.

James' family intends to file a wrongful death suit against Edington to clear James' name.

Edington, a 29-year-old patent attorney, is free on $1 million bond and pleaded not guilty last week to murder and burglary charges.

Police said they found Edington at his sink, washing blood off his arms, after receiving 911 calls from both James' mother and Edington. Edington told emergency dispatchers only that his neighbor had been hurt, police said.

Whoops would be a bit of an understatement...
