A 16-year-old was babysitting his girlfriend’s 23-month-old son. The baby wouldn’t stop crying so he covered the boy’s head with a pillow and punched him in the head until his brain bled. The child died. At trial, the teen sobbed and screamed that he’d loved him. Then the judge read out a phone call he’d made from jail and it ended him.
The boy’s name was Austin Smith. He was 23 months old. The 16-year-old, Dylan, was left alone to watch him and when Austin wouldn’t settle, he smothered him with a pillow and beat him in the head with his fists. The toddler suffered a brain hemorrhage and died.
In the courtroom, Dylan put on a performance. He cried hard. He screamed that he never meant to kill anyone, that he loved little Austin, that it was all a terrible mistake. For a moment, it almost looked like it might work on the jury.
Then the judge pulled out a recording a call Dylan had made to his own mother from jail, before the trial. On it, in his own voice, he’d laid out the plan: “I’m a 16-year-old blond kid. I just need to cry in front of the jury and they’ll feel sorry for me.”
He hadn’t been grieving. He’d been rehearsing.
The judge handed him the maximum: 25 years to life.
So here’s what splits people: is 25-to-life too heavy for a 16-year-old who still has a whole life ahead of him or does a boy who kills a baby for crying, then coldly games the court with fake tears, deserve to never walk free at all?

Se enoja el Español @lopezdoriga con el McPrian que no ha podido construir un liderazgo y junto al encuestador de Chayu$$ena, @RoyCampos aceptan que Morena nuevamente arrasará en el 2030...
Ver a corrida de Interlagos pela câmera onboard do Verstappen parece videogame. Chega na zona de frenagem da curva, todo mundo diminui o ritmo e ele só vai engolindo os carros.
Absurdo demais!!! GOAT!!!
En Paraguay, casi tres millones de personas se han quedado sin acceso a sus cuentas bancarias. Ueno Bank, vinculado al presidente Santiago Peña, ha sido intervenido. Hay ocho directivos detenidos y cientos de millones de fondos públicos comprometidos, incluidas las pensiones.
Los beneficios eran privados. Ahora toca movilizar recursos públicos para proteger los ahorros.
Menuda maravilla de gestión.
Qué gusto ver un cambio de dinámica.
Pierden fuelle. En dos semanas, Brasil, Serbia, Israel y EE.UU.
Al final el pueblo entra en razón y deja de votar al más excéntrico del patio.
Que siga la ola, y que llegue a España.
