Why is he not charged with her murder? Why is he allowed to be on bond? why is his bond only $90,000?
:mad::mad:. I am so sick of these people killing kids . Nobody is buying your little sad puppy face Derion.

Would he really want to get out, though? I’m sure the community didn’t forget.

I'm going to go ahead & post this - a day later... with the update (in red) added. And I can shorten it up a bit.

So... is he out? Or does he have "cash" for this bond? Or was the "cash" taken off? It doesn't really say in the articles.

TIA!

It's sickening to me that this P O S could even be allowed bail. Beautiful little Maleah should be alive and well and waiting on Santa Claus. :mad:

Now that I have had a few sips of red calming fluid ;).

I get that charging him with murder might bring enough reasonable doubt so they went with a lesser charge.

How much would he actually have to pay to get out?

Also the defense saying that him wearing an ankle bracelet is overkill, just seems a little insensitive.

So, he will be almost 70 when he gets out. I would really like to know what happened, I'm guessing he lost it and pushed her or something along those lines. That poor child had already been hurt pretty badly before.

I just can't fanthom how he/they could keep treating her so badly after all she went through. Poor baby. Rest in peace, Maleah.

I hate to be cruel, but I hope he's haunted for what he did to this poor child for the rest of his miserable life. He doesn't deserve inner peace or any peace at all.

@Niner I can’t thank you enough for posting this (and many many others) update. Little Maleah’s murder tore me up and I had to take a break. I know this can’t bring her back, but knowing this sick, disgusting piece of scum can’t hurt anyone ever again, gives some small semblance of justice. RIP Maleah<3

I would not have know about this except for @sraybella post with the article. I had him in Dec., 2020 - and I guess I better go thru my 2020 lists! :)
And you are quite welcome for my updates.

Yes, Little Maleah was a heartbreaker...

RIP little girl!
