It's been so long that some of the details of this case are fuzzy in my mind, but did the dad not have another child that died about 10 years ago? Does anyone know the circumstances surrounding that incident? Or did I imagine that?
Since he has been arrested we can look at his social media.It's been so long that some of the details of this case are fuzzy in my mind, but did the dad not have another child that died about 10 years ago? Does anyone know the circumstances surrounding that incident? Or did I imagine that?

RIP Malik :rose:
Of course time in prison is required - he killed a 2-year-old. But the fact that the guilt ate away at him until he confessed proves he's not an absolute monster. He gave the family closure after a year, unlike many killers we see here who just stay mum to the end. Perhaps capital punishment isn't what's required here. I don't know.
In a November 2010 police report, a woman with whom Clifton had a child in 2007, reported the two got into an argument inside a car. She told police Clifton "grabbed her by the throat and began choking" her as their 3-year-old son sat on his lap. The woman was advised to file charges against Clifton.
