Week 3 Article 1

1.    Bynum, R. (2013 September 12). Teen convicted of killing baby gets life in prison. The Houston Chronicle. Retrieved from http://www.chron.com/news/crime/article/Teen-convicted-of-killing-baby-gets-life-in-prison-4810197.php?cmpid=hpts
2.    Category of Problem: Crime
3.    Level of Problem: National
4.    Article Concerns: That a 13 month old baby was killed.
5.    This is important to families and individuals because people are killing other people and age is not a factor. How are we supposed to keep our families safe with people out there that commit such hanous crimes.

6.    I think that this crime was inhumane and sickening. I completely agree with the judge’s ruling to give the defendant life in prison without parole. The defense attorney said that this is too harsh of a ruling because the defendant is only 18 years old but I disagree. At 18 you are legally an adult and you are fully aware of what is right and wrong. The defendant knew exactly what he was doing when he pointed his gun at that baby’s head. Why bring an innocent child into it when he was trying to rob the mother? When someone stoops that low to murder a child they deserve to get at minimum life in prison without parole. What is world coming to and how are people supposed to keep their families safe? I also feel that the others involved in this crime be severly punished. I also think that the defense attorney’s are you the defendants up bringing as an excuse. I think that no matter how a person brought up there is absolutely no excuse for murdering and innocent child.
