Man Kills Daughter After she Broke his Xbox

Tyrone Spellman has been convicted of murdering his daughter, in an angry rage that was ignited because she knocked over his Xbox. According to media reports, Spellman's daughter Alayiah pulled on the cords of the Xbox, causing the system to fall down and break. Spellman then struck his daughter so hard that he cracked her skull, said prosecutors. He may also have thrown her across the room, according to initial claims. Spellman, who confessed to the crime within 24 hours, originally told the police that Alayiah fell out of her bed, and then tried to claim his confession was only out of protection for his wife. Spellman's wife was asleep during the incident. The Department of Human Services had previously been tipped by an anonymous caller that Alayiah's parents were abusive, but they were previously unable to find any evidence. Spellman was convicted of third-degree murder and child endangerment, and faces up to 47 years behind bars.

I think what we should do is this... Make a poll in GN and make it to which way we want the guy to suffer.... Then after a week, we send it to the jail he'll be at and watch the guards laugh... what an a$$... I wish this was the Feudal era still... cut off his hands, then behead the man while begging for his life...

its cause we're a diverse and free nation and people can do whatever the hell they want as long as it doesn't pose a threat or disrupt the peace in any way.

oh and guys, put your preferred torture methods here:

Gentlemen, just becaus this guy deserves it, doesn't mean that we should stoop to the level of inflicting sadistic, medival physical torture on him.

Put him in a padded, sound proof room and pipe in the sound of babies crying at a decible level just over the threshhold of pain. Leave him in there until he is totally insane. Then take him out back and give him lead poisoning (if you get my drift).

I would like to see you try to prove that statement. It only seems that way because we have a pervasive and invasive mass media that can get your sneeze publicized before you wipe your nose. I might give a war torn African nation with an army of child soldiers that dubious honor, but that is just my opinion.

Polaris is correct we do have a very rabid media.

There is another point to make here also.
In Bulgaria, you have a little over 8 million people.
We have over 9 million people in and around the city of Chicago alone.
The population of the US is around 300 million.
More people = more chance of freaks.

Based off the shape of the nose, the distance betweenthe eyes. You might have been killed. Everyone everywhere is sick.


Religious nutjobs on both sides killing one another for ideas perpetuated by those in power. Many times the same religion.

That we do, that we do... Wait... we don't! we don't have nearly as many "hostels" here as we do any other parts of the world... That what we need to do.. send the man to a "hostel" and see what someone else can do to him! Oh, how I loved those movies.!! "Hostel" FTW!

My opinion is that people that kill other people shouldnt have the right to continue living and should be killed, because the people who died had the right to live, and if someone broke this rule cant have the right to live too.

Please stay on topic. Discussing manners in which you can become just as sick and evil as the person in this story, is not the topic of this thread.

Careful. Your individual demons are showing.

Its not necesary a person to kill the killer. The justice and the society will take care of it, and in the case if you kill a person because he killed another one , you are breaking the rule so you dont have the rigth to live except if you did it because you thought your life was in danger.
You cant just kill your neightbour because he killed your friend, you would turn into a murderer like him.

My demon?!? You know about my story?!?!? So you are investigating me! lol.. You are right Thermo. We need to stay on subject. We know what happened, but for us to stay in the state that we are talking about will just make us more "pi$$3d off" at what happened and go off the deep end...
I, for one, know of no person on here that wouldn't want to see the death pent. happen to this guy. Its going to happen.... Its a terrible thing that has happened.
Look at it like this people, this is going to be yet another thing for FOX and CNN to talk bad about on gamers... The guy is going to get what is coming to him.. Thank God for the Justice system for a few things...
Now, only if the justice system is a little faster... :banghead:

as i read this i thought to myself, this is news news not tech news, does having an xbox involved make this tech news? as for my two cents on the story, the mother of the daughter her side of the family should be given the option of what punishment is served to this disgusting human being.

TBH - people like that just need to be immediately removed from the population, permanently. I'm sorry, but I don't want any of my tax dollars going to allow for some pathetic, materialistic loser such as this to live out 20+ years in a jail; my money could be better spent than providing the food, warmth, electricty that he'll enjoy in an institution.

I say, stone him to death - or better yet, subject him to a form of stoning that was carried out on suspected witches during the colonial period. Tie him to the ground and lay heavy stones on him one by one until he's crushed to death, and bury him right there.

<edit>

and the way I look at it - genetics and up bringing affect how we as individuals are; People who can commit such atrocious acts should be permanently removed from the gene pool, so that any violent traits can be squelched - asides, public boradcasting of such punishments for these crimes, and I guarantee you that people will act more like civil, peaceful adults than like children. I think so many people have become jaded by a criminal system here in the US that hides away our criminals instead of making examples of them, that no one stops to think about the consequences of their actions anymore.

In this case most people are responding from a sense of righteous indignation, not out of malicious revenge.

You cannot equate the judicial dispensing of justice with an act of wanton murder. There is no comparison there.

Righteous indignation can be used to create nobility in the most deplorable of acts. Just because a behavior is rooted in twisted mores, it does not make it a suitable response.
