   Let me quote the not-as-yet-appointed Public Defender attorney for the baby's mother: "My client was psychologically controlled and manipulated by Mr. Marshall. She was so [adjective here] she could not exercise her own free will to protect her child and get away from Mr. Marshall."

   God bless this little girl, and others in the same position as her but still alive. God deliver them from evil.

   Easy to make 'em, hard to raise 'em.

   End of story.

   Weak argument from the public defender. Unless the woman was unconscious and totally physically and yes, mentally, unable to do anything to save that child, she's going to jail, too. ANd unless she was drugged, bound and gagged and thrown in the trunk of the car, she sure as hell had the free will to get in that car with that moron and run from the law by driving to Phoenix.

   Another example of someone who had no business having a kid.

   It's not so hard to raise them that you have to kill them OR allow some scumbag to do it.
   That poor poor baby girl.

   general question, does Nevada allow for the death penalty? I believe not. Is it just that someone may be taken to the desert...citizens/cops gotta get there before the courts do?

    Why is it that in order to possess a gun, apply for jobs, or purchase certain items: we must pass a battery of background checks...Yet anybody can have a child?
    We will never know exactly what Baby Shia went through...RIP, Sweet Angel.

    As I sit here with my baby in my arms not but 6 months younger I wonder how any mother can let someone harm their baby or do it themselves, there are too many people who would love to have a child, that child.

    I don't know what I find more offensive, the fact that a little baby was murdered, or the fact that so many are willing to judge before any evidence is heard.

    At this point there are a lot of questions, and no answers, but I see that everyone out there seems to have found these people guilty and are ready for them to be put to death.

    No wonder our society is in the mess it's in.

    Mandy, the mother wasn't even in town when the child was killed. There are other explainations than the ones you come up with.

    geezelouise....No, all the facts are not in, but there are enough to know that there was definite neglect, and that's only minor compared to what the facts will show. SICK SICK SICK!

    Some people shouldn't have children or pets.
