GUILTY NC - Mariah Woods, 3, Onslow County, 27 Nov 2017 #10 *Arrest*

[Inthedetails]

JMO I think his intentions were more sinister, either to abuse her or shut her up.

I think he used it to put her asleep so she would be a compliant victim to his perv intentions. I don't think it was the first time he did that. JMOpinion, not fact

 

[borndem]

JMO but I don't think he used the chloroform to murder Mariah, I think he used it to put her to sleep and she died from an overdose.

My thoughts, too -- similar to what Casey Anthony did to little Caylee. Each was wanting the child to sleep for a good number of hours, and carelessly overdid it. Not on purpose, but the beautiful children are dead, nevertheless. And it is still a crime.

The "I didn't mean to kill her," if we ever hear it, should rule out 1st degree in EK's case, IMO, at least based on what we know now. 1st degree murder should have been ruled out in favor of 2nd degree murder in Casey's charge, but it wasn't. That's why she was acquitted, IMO.

But sadly, dead is dead.

intent i guess would be the diff between 1st and 2nd degree murder. rot gut alcohol (MD2020 or boone's farm) could have rendered her helpless but not dead. yes dead is dead and there are worse things than death!

JMO I think his intentions were more sinister, either to abuse her or shut her up.

I just pointed out my opinion that I do not think she was intentionally murdered with the chloroform. I think she was overdosed and died. My opinion does not mean that he did not intend to harm her. It is very plausible, IMO, that he could have given her the chloroform to keep her quiet in order to sexually abuse her.

I can easily see that, too, lonetraveler -- you make a good point -- that may well be what happened. I hope the prosecutors consider that as well.

Our most helpless, and help often comes too darn late. SMH.

Did someone use chloroform on this poor sweet child? Where do you think they got that idea? Don't tell me im already mad enough to bite nails into and how does the cops know which one or both of them were involved in this scheme?

The idea prob came from Casey Anthony

"We suspect that this chemical was used to disable the child and according to the autopsy report, it led to her death," Sheriff Miller said.

Sheriff Miller will not reveal how investigators believe Kimrey got his hands on the chloroform.

The judge read Kimrey's charges and said his next hearing on these matters will be February 14, 2018.

I was just going to say - I don't see an April date on here, but this:

But thank you for the update Tortoise! Very much appreciated! :wave:

JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — A grand jury on Tuesday indicted Earl Kimrey, the boyfriend of Mariah Woods’ mother, for the 3-year-old girl’s murder.

Kimrey is facing charges of first-degree murder, felony child abuse inflicting serious bodily injury, felony common law obstruction of justice, felony concealment of death, second-degree burglary, felony larceny, and felony possession of stolen property.

The cause of death was determined to be chloroform toxicity, according to the medical examiner’s Office.

Kimrey has been in custody in the Onslow County Detention Center with no bond.

and this article from WITN today

"JACKSONVILLE, NC (WITN) Some people gathered outside of the Onslow County Courthouse Wednesday to honor Mariah Woods.

Woods was reported missing from her home in January. Her body was later found in a Pender County creek.

Mariah's paternal grandmother Deborah Woods, says she's still fighting for justice and it means a lot knowing the community is doing the same.

She says, "Makes us feel really good, means that a lot of people are helping with the cause and it means a lot knowing that she touched so many people without even knowing them."

Woods says she has not heard from or seen Mariah's mother, Kristy Hunter, since the toddler was first reported missing.

Hunter's live in boyfriend, Earl Kimrey, is charged in Mariah's death."

Thanks Tortoise! Did the DA say what the aggravating circumstance was? I looked through the recent articles but didn't see anything.

 

[gregjrichards]

Thanks Tortoise! Did the DA say what the aggravating circumstance was? I looked through the recent articles but didn't see anything.

I think this will be the reason

“The capital felony was committed while the defendant was engaged, or was an aider or abettor, in the commission of, or an attempt to commit, or flight after committing or attempting to commit, any homicide, robbery, rape or a sex offense, arson, burglary, kidnapping, or aircraft piracy or the unlawful throwing, placing, or discharging of a destructive device or bomb.”

I also believe he used the chloroform to abuse sweet, helpless Mariah. How evil and sinister, makes my blood boil.
