Luckily this crime occured on federal land so he's elligable to be executed. I can't determine whether Steven Deuman or Travis Mullins (On Texas's death row for sexually murdering his three-month old son) committed a worse crime. Utterly dispicable.
I guess that all depends on perspective, what makes one crime worse than another?
I remember Alijah's case very well. I think we will need more information on Evelyn's case to make a real determination.
However, here are the facts if anyone is interested.
In Alijah's case his father was leaving the house because he was having flashbacks and was afraid he would hurt his son.
He had already attempted to molest a child that morning and reportedly told Alijah's mother about it.
Alijah's mother made him take Alijah to ensure that he would come back. To make sure he didn't leave her.
In Evelyn's case it appears the father was simply in charge of the child. We are not aware of any neglect which led to him being in control of her.
In Alijah's case his father had committed other crimes against other children and Alijah's mother was aware of them.
In Evelyn's case we have not yet heard of any other crimes her father has committed.
In Alijah's case he was dumped on the side of the road, he wasn't taken to the hospital or anything.
This resulted in an innocent (hysterical) citizen having to find him, who still couldn't talk about it without crying even 3 years later.
In Alijah's case his mother was also arrested and charged with endangering a child. As of March 2011 she hadn't been to court yet.
In Evelyn's case it appears everyone used poor judgment not calling 911, then returning to the house... including the mother.
In Alijah's case the only evidence of a sex crime was DNA... I never heard about anything "physical". It was never said where the DNA was.
Given the conditions that Alijah lived in, (no bed, slept in car seat) I always wondered how conclusive that DNA really was.
They dropped those charges... Could it have just been transferred onto the baby from sheets or hands or something. :sick:
In Evelyn's case there *appears* to be more evidence of a sex crime.
In Alijah's case, his death occurred from stomping on his head to stop his crying. Not from any type of sexual assault.
In Evelyn's case there *appears* to be some evidence that a sex crime is what resulted in her death.
I guess it just depends on what you think is worse... I can't make a decision between the two cases.
