that bastard deserves the death penalty, if they don’t enforce the death penalty for something like that, they just need to do away with it all together.

The only thing I do not understand from the video is…….. Is the mother having a mental breakdown from the stress of her baby dying, or is she upset her scum bag boyfriend is in jail? What a freakin shame!

In my opinion, they both need to be put to death for it. They aren’t even sure why she had a breakdown, at the actual trial. Did she breakdown prior? No.
