Child Killers
When I worked for the Police Department, the County Sheriff who was in charge of Courtroom security asked local Police Officers to work overtime for a ?special trial.? This special trial was for a triple murderer, one who killed his sister; Brother in law and 6 year old nephew then set the house on fire.
Another ?large? officer and myself were assigned plain clothes to sit behind the suspect to ?protect him?. Our orders were to take him to the floor and pile on if something happened, great deal huh!
Well, nothing did happen, but during the very long trial I began to wonder if the Jury was going to convict on all three murders, they were so bored with all the forensic evidence. The Medical Examiner took the stand and was asked how 6 year old Kevin?.died. He replied? He has contusions on both temples, consistent with a large man holding his head, then his throat was transected to 4? with a sharp object. The blood nearly drained from the juror?s faces. Three consecutive counts of life without parole.
