From Roanoke's jail, Brandon Lockett Sr. discusses the death of stepson Aveion Lewis
On Tuesday, during visiting hours at the Roanoke City Jail, Brandon Lockett said he didn't want to wait until his September trial to speak out.
"Truly and honestly we're innocent," Lockett said. "... That was our son. That wasn't someone we didn't care about."
In a half-hour conversation, Lockett seemed relaxed and sometimes indignant. He referred several times to a "serious" medical condition he said Aveion had but declined to answer questions about how the toddler died.
"Certain things I'm holding back," he said.
Since the Locketts have been in jail, their children have been cared for by a grandmother. But Brandon Lockett said he still worries about them.
"I feel I take care of my kids better than anybody," Lockett said.
Waiting for his trial, Lockett said he does not understand how he can be charged with murder when investigators don't know Aveion's cause of death. He wonders why people think he and Morgan would single out one of their children for harm. He has started writing a book about his experiences and has finished more than 60 pages, he said.
"I've been portrayed as a monster, as an individual who did this to his child," Lockett said. "... But there's two sides to this story."

Hmmm two sides to every story - side one we have hundreds of people searching for a kidnapped baby. Side two - the baby was at the dump, wrapped in plastic the whole time. Either way I look at this, I see a monster!
What is it with these perps and the mugshot smirk?
The search.
And found.
