Father Kills Daughter Over Xbox Console

[NJNetz]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A man who played video games for hours each day has been convicted of killing his 17-month-old daughter when she pulled out his Xbox console.


Jurors rejected arguments that Tyrone Spellman had confessed to protect the child's mother.

After a day of deliberation, they convicted Spellman of third-degree murder and child endangerment, for which he faces up to 47 years in prison.

Prosecutors in Philadelphia believe he pummelled Alayiah Turman, cracking her skull several times, while her pregnant mother slept in another room on September 7, 2006.

They argued that Spellman fled the house afterwards, and that the mother, Mia Turman, had no reason to go in the bedroom where the baby was found.</div>

Wow. Didn't a man just kill his son for a video game last month? People are crazy.

Yea, but I think that time, the kid actually asked his dad to shoot him, that one was messed up.

Wow. The things people do nowadays. I mean, for the love of god, it was a 17 month old. At 17mos, you don't even know the differences between right or wrong yet.

This isn't even human anymore. You've got to be heartless to do this.

Xbox was forged by Lucifer himself.

Can't it just be that a crazy person killed his son or daughter? Why drag video games into it?

Oh, well, he was angry because the baby broke his console. So what? He's still crazy. That's a crazy person's response.
