How sad.....infant dies after being thrown from car

[Wheezer]

A Tampa judge denied bail Wednesday for a Florida man charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 3-month-old child, who authorities say was thrown out of a moving car.

Police say infant Emanuel Murray died after his mother's ex-boyfriend threw him from a car on a Florida interstate.

Richard Anthony McTear Jr., 21, was arrested Tuesday, hours after a confrontation at his former girlfriend's apartment in which he snatched the infant, Emanuel Wesley Murray, the Hillsborough County sheriff's office said.

The child's body was found about 4 .am. Tuesday on the side of Interstate 275 in Tampa, Florida, by a local television photographer on his way to work. The photographer, WTVT's Jason Bird, said he stopped when he spotted something by the roadside

"It had to be a baby doll but it was too big to be a doll," Bird told CNN affiliate WFTS in Tampa. "I almost passed out, I started shaking," said Bird.

A preliminary autopsy determined the child died of blunt trauma to the head, the county medical examiner's office said.

Police were called to the apartment of McTear's former girlfriend about 3:15 a.m. Tuesday. The mother, Jasmine Bedwell, 17, told investigators that McTear had hit her several times and threatened "to kill the both of y'all," the sheriff's department said in a statement announcing the charges.

McTear threw a car seat containing the child across the room during the fight, causing the boy to fall onto the apartment's concrete floor, investigators said. He then picked up the boy and drove off in his blue Chevrolet Impala, throwing the child out while on the interstate, the sheriff's department said.

Video on CNN affiliate WFLA TV showed McTear being led out of a Tampa police squad car after his arrest. He ducked his head as TV cameras surrounded him on his walk into a police building.

When asked by reporters if he had thrown the child out of the car window, McTear answered, "It's a dirty game. A dirty game."

McTear is not related to the child, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter.

McTear is facing additional charges of burglary with battery, felony battery, aggravated child abuse and kidnapping, the sheriff's department said.

Edit: We should bring back the pillory for assholes like this and after a day (provided he makes it that long).....he should be publicly executed.....there is something to be said for vengeance....it ain't all bad.

Just one point about the subtitle of the thread ("wtf is wrong with people?"): if the bastard did this, he no longer qualifies as people.

A hippo will eat the young hippos of other male offspring to claim his stance of dominance.

Or was it just drown them, I can't remember now.

I am an attorney who believes in our legal process, that said, society should be spared of any burden caused by this lowlife. I think if we took him straight to a guillotine it would be cheap but a little too quick.

I hope that guy feels pain... lots and lots of pain. All caused through anything he has possibly imagined as a worst fear throughout the course of his life.

It's a dirty game. A dirty game.

Sometimes a criminal's ears would be nailed to the pillory so that any movement of the head to avoid thrown objects would cause further injury.

Works for me. :thumbsup:

A quick death is almost to good for this bastard, I say we feed him to the gators.

in reality he will probably get killed far before release. Anyone in for crime againsts children are the lowest on the prison totem pole.

WTF?

Throw him out of a plane*.



* without a parachute, at an altitude insufficient to instantly kill him.

Drop him from a ledge, hell, I'll do it myself.
