TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A 21-year-old man charged with throwing his
ex-girlfriend's baby out a car on a Tampa highway has pleaded not
guilty to first-degree murder and other charges.
Richard Anthony McTear Jr. appeared in court Wednesday morning.
Prosecutors have 45 days to decide if they will seek the death
penalty.
Prosecutors say McTear threw 4-month-old Emanuel Wesley Murray
down on the concrete during an argument with his 17-year-old
ex-girlfriend May 5.
Then, they say, he snatched up the infant and threw him out of
the car on Interstate 275 north of downtown Tampa. The child's
lifeless body was found on the roadside by a passing motorist.
McTear is not the child's father.

As much as I agree to fry this subhuman as soon as possible he is afforded his due process , however as soon as he is found guilty - do not pass go - no appeals - just straight to Old Sparky

Not guilty??????? What? The baby threw itself out the window???? What judicial system is accepting this plea???

This is *BS* they need to get rid of his *zz as soon as possible. Instant death to a criminal would elimanate some of this crime. Harming children is the worst crime one can commit! The U.S. is just to easy on criminals and its only going to get worse!!!

execution asap
