GUILTY WA - Summer Lytle, 4, tortured to death, Spokane, 10 March 2007

  • #21
I just don't understand how making her wear a shock collar makes any sense to anyone who is sane. In addition, making her wash her clothes in a bathtub for HOURs? What?
You should see the love this woman is getting on her myspace blog postings. It's not pretty - not that it should be. That poor baby - who even knows what all she went through.

I heard on last night's news that this Adriana cretin indeed on drugs. CPS started making welfare checks on Jonathan Jr after he was born last June, because he tested positive for drugs at birth.

IIRC, CPS even performed a check on baby Jon Jr, the day before little Summer died. I also heard that Summer's despicable sperm donor, Jonathan Sr, had taken little Summer outside to prevent the CPS employee from seeing her (or more than likely, her bodily injuries).

Now on tonight's news, the wicked step-mother's sister, Doloree Staton, has spoken out saying that Adriana has a history of drug abuse. She said Adriana had been addicted to drugs since she was nine years old. Staton also said that Adriana had endured years of physical and sexual abuse by her father.

Staton tried to help Adriana out a few years ago, by providing her a place to stay; and attempting to help her clean up her act and become drug-free. But, because Adriana continued to use drugs and started "acting psycho" and abusing her sister's children, Staton had to kick her out.

Staton says she has not spoken to her sister in over a year and has no desire to do so. But, the report said that Staton has plenty to say to investigators, and is doing so.

Now, I only have to wonder what the sperm donor's excuse is going to be!?

SPOKANE -- Prosecutors amended the charges Wednesday against Jon and Adriana Lytle, the Spokane couple accused of killing four-year-old Summer Phelps Saturday night.

Jon and Adriana Lytle, Summer's father and step-mother, were arrested for premeditated murder, a sign they allegedly planned to kill Summer for more than a moment in time.

But now they're charged with homicide by abuse and as it applies to this case a person is guilty of the crime "if the person causes the death of a child and the person has previously engaged in a pattern of assault or torture."

I noticed in this article, Summer is now being referred to as "Summer Phelps". What a beautiful little girl she was!

RIP, little angel!

So her sister knew she abused children? Did she do anything about Summer?

Found this picture of Summer on her stepMONSTERS myspace. Absolutely a precious baby! Horrified as I am about her death I praise the Lord that he took her home. There will be no more suffering for her.
She was a beautiful little girl, I just cant conceive how anyone could harm such a precious little girl, it sickens me to my soul. The persons responsible should feel pain, a great deal of pain inflicted on them before they are put to death.

Prosecutors filed new charges today against a Spokane couple charged with killing 4-year-old Summer Lytle.

Jack Driscoll, Chief Deputy Criminal Spokane County Prosecutor, said that he sent a request today to Superior Court Judge Michael Price to amend the homicide-by-abuse charge, adding three aggravating circumstances against 28-year-old Jonathan Lytle and 32-year-old Adriana Lytle.

Those aggravating circumstances included violating a position of trust, deliberate cruelty and a particularly vulnerable victim.

...Jonathan Lytle took Summer to Deaconess Medical Center just after midnight Sunday after she stopped breathing. Medical personnel found extensive injuries, including bruising from her thighs to her head, clumps of missing hair, a burn mark and a bite mark.

...Homicide by abuse carries the same standard prison sentence as first-degree murder. Neither Lytle has a previous felony conviction so they would face a range of 20 to 26 ½ years in prison.
However, with aggravating circumstances a judge could ask for more prison time, Driscoll said. :clap:

=========
GO FOR IT. (Can we write judges and ask for more time?)

Sadiemae, I know how you feel. It is very heartwrenching and I cried when I heard the report. Watching and hearing the investigator saying this was the worse case Spokane has ever seen, and he looked like he was on the verge of breaking down, too.

Taximom, the way I understood it, the sister (Doloree Staton) has not even seen her wicked sister, Adriana (the wicked, murdering step-mom), in over a year. After Deloree kicked Adriana out of her home, Deloree and her family moved & changed their phone numbers to avoid seeing or hearing from her (Adriana) again.

Personally I find these murdering cretins' abusive and murderous acts to be much more upsetting than infuriating. It's so very saddening to think anyone could do this to someone they are supposed to love and protect. :( Especially to a small child like Summer.

That's the same adorable pic that's in the KXLY article I posted earlier today or late last night. You're right, little Summer is not suffering any longer.

Hopefully now her baby half-brother, "Johnny" will now be able to live a much happier and healthier life. I sure pray so! At least he probably won't be abused and murdered by those who are supposed to care for and love him.

She didn’t know Adriana was living in a Spokane apartment with Jon Lytle and a four-year-old step-daughter, adding that the last time they spoke it was on bad terms.


"I had hidden myself from her," Staton said. "After I kicked her out I moved, disconnected my phone so she wouldn't know where to reach us anymore."

Sister not surprised by Adriana Lytle's arrest


Adriana Lytle’s sister, Doloree Staton, says she’s not surprised her sister is facing murder charges.


Staton says she had to kick Adriana out of her home because she was abusive to Staton's children and the two have had little contact since.


She didn’t know Adriana was living in a Spokane apartment with Jon Lytle and a four-year-old step-daughter, adding that the last time they spoke it was on bad terms.


"I had hidden myself from her," Staton said. "After I kicked her out I moved, disconnected my phone so she wouldn't know where to reach us anymore."


Doloree Staton doesn't want to make excuses for Adriana but says she has led a difficult life. She claims her father introduced Adriana to drugs at the age of nine; to everything from Speed to Heroin and Acid. Since then Staton claims Adriana has fought addiction.


Staton claims her father was also physically and sexually abusive toward Adriana.


"They had a sexual relationship with each other, she tried to get pregnant by him, the drugs … the abuse by him," she said.
