Mom charged with murder had second child who died
05:24 PM EST on Thursday, February 19, 2009By RAD BERKY / NewsChannel 36

SALISBURY, N.C. -- A Salisbury mother charged with second-degree murder in the death of her 2-month-old son made her first appearance in court on a day when it was learned she had a second child that died under eerily similar circumstances.
Latoyia Niccole Myers, 24, of 617 Linn Lane, was arrested by Salisbury police after her 2-month-old son, Jyhiem Ada
m Bacon, was found in a room at the Happy Traveler Motel in Salisbury on Valentine's Day.
The mother had been staying in a room where police say they also found cocaine and marijuana.
A report obtained from the Salisbury Police Department indicates that back in November 2007, police received a 911 call involving an unresponsive baby at a Salisbury apartment where Myers was living. Rescue workers tried to revive that 29-day-old infant but were not successful.
That death was ruled an accidental suffocation by the medical examiner's office.
"It was referred to the DA's office but there was nothing in the first death to indicate foul play," said Salisbury Deputy Police Chief Steve Whitley.
Police will not say what evidence they have to charge Myers with murder in this most recent case.
After her appearance in court where her case was continued until next month, Myers' mother refused to answer questions as she left, saying only that the arrest
was "not fair to my daughter."
NewsChannel 36 went to the small apartment in Salisbury where Myers now lives. No one came to the door.
Myers is being held in the Rowan County Jail on $250,000 bond.

Pine Bluff Couple Charged in Infant’s Death
posted 02/25/09 4:41 pm
Pine Bluff - A mother and father in Pine Bluff are facing capital murder charges after police say the pair killed their six-month-old daughter.
According to authorities, emergency crews were called to 2505 East Pullen Street shortly before 9:00 a.m Wednesday, after receiving a call of a child not breathing.
EMTs found six-month-old Reeanna Robinson unresponsive, and were unable to revive her. The baby was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators considered the death suspicious, and allege that the father killed the infant while the mother watched.
Authorities say 31-year-old
Edward Robinson and 23-year-old Keisha Williams are now behind bars at the Jefferson County Detention Facility.
(Lt. Robert Rawlinson, Pine Bluff Police) “It's inconceivable that could go on in the first place--much less that somebody would be there and not try to stop it."
Reeanna's parents are being held on probable cause for capital murder, and will remain behind bars pending formal charges.
The infant's body has been taken to the state crime lab for an autopsy.

Mom's boyfriend charged with tot's murder in St. Louis County
By Jeremy Kohler
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
03/13/2009
CLAYTON -- The boyfriend of a young mother has been charged with murder in what police and prosecutors described as a brutal attack Thursday on the woman's 14-month-old daughter.
In a news conference today, St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert P. McCulloch refused to identify the identity of the victim -- identified by the initials "J.S.". Family members said later that her name was Josie Sproaps.
Those family members said Josie's mother, Brittany Blanks, 20, had left her Wednesday night in the care of her boyfriend, Anthony O'Neal, 18, at their home on the 300 block of Chambers Road. When Blanks returned home from work early Thursday, she found the baby dead in bed, showing severe bruises and burns. Blanks then woke up O'Neal, who claimed the baby had been burned by a space heater.
O'Neal was arrested and is being held in the St. Louis County Jail on $250,000 bond.
She returned home to find her daughter's dead body in a bed. The baby had suffered severe blunt trauma, McCulloch said. He declined to describe the injures, other than to say a weapon was not used. The buck was actually thinking of using a weapon?
In a news conference on Friday, McCulloch revealed little about the case, other than that the injuries to the child -- massive head trauma and internal injuries -- were among the worst he's ever seen, and that O'Neal had been alone with her when she died, and that he had premeditated the assault.
Asked by reporters why he would not release the name of a murder victim, McCulloch said it has always been his policy not to release names of juvenile crime victims. When he learned that a county police spokeswoman was planning to release it after the news conference, he asked the department not to.

My God! Every other day we hear about a buck killing a child.Yet,the MSM will not touch the issue.They would rather focus on a missing white girl. If anything, the Jew MSM is telling everybody that a missing white girl is more important than dead niglets. I guess they're right!
These libs contradict themselves all the time. Libs are so easy to beat in a debate...if you want to call it that.

Orleans jury convicts man of baby's 2004 murder
After about 45 minutes of deliberations, an Orleans Parish jury Wednesday convicted Larry Lawrence Jr., of a baby's second-degree murder in 2004.
Lawrence will receive the state's mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole for the murder of 20-month-old Lionel Freeman Jr., who died from internal injuries that included a cut liver, and a pancreas and adrenal gland that were torn in half.
The baby's mother, who was about 17 when her baby was found unconscious in a three-room apartment on North Robertson Street, didn't attend the trial. But prosecutors Abigail MacDonald and Brigid Collins told the jury that the trial wasn't about Kay Williams.
Larry Lawrence w
as the last person to handle the baby, prosecutors said, and his stories of what happened during the early hours of Feb. 5, 2004, never added up.
The two-day trial at Orleans Parish Criminal District Court included graphic descriptions of the baby's fatal wounds.
Lawrence and his live-in girlfriend at the time had let a destitute Williams and her baby stay with them. Williams left the home at about 9 p.m. to go get her laundry from around the corner, she told police, and when she returned couldn't get into the locked house, despite knocking on the door and calling Lawrence's girlfriend's cell phone 20 times.
The jury of six men and six women saw a videotaped statement Lawrence gave police where he said that if he had hurt baby Lionel it was by accident. Lawrence gave different versions of what had happened, such as that the baby fell out of the bed and later that the baby had thrown up and was choking on his vomit.
Lawrence said he had been playing "boxing" with the baby for
about twenty minutes the night before.
"Do all these bruises on his side look like play to you?" MacDonald asked the jury during closing arguments. "The bruises to his face - does that look like play?"
Defense attorneys argued that Lawrence may have hurt the baby while giving it emergency aid after his girlfriend called 911.
"But it was in good faith and was with love," attorney Eddie Castaing told the jury. "He's the Good Samaritan here, not the mother."
If Lawrence was guilty of anything, Castaing said, it was negligent homicide.
The jury heard that Lawrence had a prior conviction for cruelty to a juvenile from about 21 years ago when he pleaded guilty after his 8-month-old daughter was found with a cigarette burn on her forehead. Lawrence was sentenced to three years.
Jurors could have returned a verdict of manslaughter or negligent homicide, but instead found Lawrence guilty of the more serious charge, second-degree murder.
Two doctors, inc
luding the medical examiner, testified that the baby had fresh, red bruises on his side.

Man charged with murdering Joplin toddler is free on bond
Updated: March 13, 2009 06:07 PM CDT
JOPLIN, MO. - The Jasper County prosecutor's office issued a warrant for the arrest of Byron Lang, 19, on Wednesday, and he was arrested Thursday for 2nd degree murder.
Police say Lang posted his $50,000 bond.
According to authorities, Kyler Jones, 2, was staying with Lang on September 2, 2008 at his apartment in Joplin.
Lang is accused of repeatedly striking Jones in the abdomen and head.
Police say Lang then brought the toddler to St. John's Express Ca
re, and the child was unconscious and not breathing.
Jones was later pronounced dead at St. John's Regional Medical Center.
Law enforcement say Byron Lang was a suspect from the beginning in this case, and claim he admitted the child was in his care before bringing him to the hospital.
Police Lt. Mike Hobson says he is concerned that Lang is not behind bars.
"That's a very serious charge and he's looking at some severe punishment and any time somebody's looking at this type of punishment for this type of crime there's a likelihood they could flee," Lt. Hobson says.

Harrisburg man charged in strangling of infant son
Harrisburg police Thursday charged a 21-year-old city man with homicide and related charges in the strangling of his 9-month-old son.
An autopsy performed on the body of Braedyn Hodge showed he had also been beaten and had a traumatic brain injury, according to court documents.
The father, Christopher Lamont Scott Jr., 22, of the 2100 block of North Fifth Street, was charged with homicide, recklessly endangering another person and aggravated assault, according to the documents. Scott was to be arraigned Thursday at Night Court and committed to Dauphin County Prison without bail pending a hearing be
fore a county judge.
District Attorney Edward M. Marsico Jr. said the autopsy disclosed Braedyn had "a variety of injuries, including the fact that the body was strangled."
"That shows intent, especially when talking about a 9-month-old infant," Marsico said.
The boy was strangled shortly before emergency workers responded to Scott's mother's house in the 2400 block of Reel Street at 3:30 a.m., Marsico said.
Scott had strangled the boy at his home in the 2100 block of North Fifth Street, and ran to his mother's house shortly afterward, according to court records.

St. Louis County woman held in murder of own child
ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH
05/26/2009
CLAYTON -- St. Louis County police today announced that a 20-year-old woman has been charged in the murder of her infant last year.
Prosecutors on May 14 charged Sharnique Jones, of the 3800 block of Salome in North St. Louis County, with second-degree murder, two counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child and first-degree assault. Jones is being held on a $250,000 cash-only bond, police said.
Jones was charged with the "intentional suffocation of her 3-month-old infant,"
who died on April 7, 2008, police said. Prosecutors allege that she suffocated the child after Jones had withheld food from the baby, police said.
Healthcare providers and social workers "had repeatedly warned Jones about the inadequate care she had been giving the infant," St. Louis County police said today.
Then, on Jan. 26, Jones gave birth to a second baby, police said, and then tried to suffocate that child. In addition, social workers and healthcare providers, again, told Jones that she was not providing adequate nutrition.
After the second time Jones allegedly tried to kill her child, police and prosecutors reviewed the first baby's death last year and it was ruled a homicide, police said.
Police would not release the babies' identities.

Prosecution: Mom Burned Autistic Son With Flat Iron
POSTED: Thursday, June 4, 2009
UPDATED: 9:26 pm EDT June 4, 2009
ROYAL OAK, Mich. -- A metro Detroit mother was sentenced to prison Thursday, after she is accused of burning her 5-year-old autistic son with a flat iron.
Police testified that Tjuanda Drew clamped a flat iron down on her son's legs, leaving him with third-degree burns.
"This isn't a burn where this is moved around, where he's had any chance to pull this off of himself or get away from it," one prosecutor said at the hearing.
The prosecution said in court that Drew's son is so emotionally distre
ssed because of the incident that he breaks down at the sight of anything that produces heat.
The prosecution said the boy grabs his ears, becomes tearful, and runs away whenever he is in proximity to a heat-producing item.
The Royal Oak mother was convicted of second-degree child abuse and sentenced anywhere from one to four years.
Drew's family outside court said the sentence was unfair.
"She left them (the flat iron) on; I can say she left them on," said Drew's aunt, Latonya Drew. "But to literally clamp it and hold it, she didn't do that."
Drew's attorney said after the hearing that an appeal may be filed.

TACOMA, Wash. -- A man who fatally injured a 3-year-old boy when he hurled him in a fit of anger has been sentenced in Tacoma to 50 years in prison.
Noah Jeremiah Thomas was sentenced Friday in Pierce County Superior Court in the death of Michael-Kekoa Ravenell last May 28, when he was babysitting the boy.
The 25-year-old, who was dating the boy's mother, pleaded guilty in March to homicide by abuse.
At first Thomas told police that the boy had hurt himself while at a playground at the apartment complex.
When questioned by detectives,
Thomas eventually admitted he "threw" Kekoa on a loveseat and became frustrated when the boy would not eat lunch and wanted to go outside.
When the boy tried to turn on the TV, Thomas said he "snatched him up" and took him to his room. He said he hurled Kekoa onto a bed, where his head hit an iron rail.
Rather than call for help, Thomas put the boy back in bed, cleaned up spilled blood and took a nap as the boy died.
Thomas apologized in court, but Judge Frank Cuthbertson called the cruelty of the crime "unbelievable" as he handed down the maximum sentence.
Nearly two months before the fatal injuries, the boy's father had called Child Protective Services when he suspected abuse.
It was the first of what the boy's father said were many suspicious marks on both his son and daughter.
"And he had bruising on the side of his head that was tender," said Michael Ravenell, the boy's biological father, in an interview earlier this year.
The cas
e file showed CPS assigned an inexperienced social worker with just three months on the job to Kekoa's case.
Ravenell says he kept calling, telling CPS about additional abuse, but got little response.
In February, the state Department of Health and Human Services criticized CPS for its handling of the case.
"Policy wasn't followed, procedure wasn't followed, and that the supervision wasn't adequate to make sure that policy was followed," CPS spokesman Thomas Shapley said at the time.
The CPS social worker never checked Thomas' background. He had a prior conviction for abusing his own children who were 2 and 4 years old.
The social worker never had a doctor examine the boy even though his father had informed her about the bruises.
CPS fired the social worker who was on Kekoa's case.
